Over the last few months, I have learned some precious lessons that I guess if I hadn’t quit teaching, maybe I wouldn’t have learned at all. I was always focused on looking okay and smiling even if I didn’t feel like it. It’s something they drill into you on the job. It doesn’t matter if…

Things to start in the New Year
I would like to start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year before I dive into the first post of 2023🥳🥳🥳. I hope you had a great time with friends and family and were able to reflect on everything you’ve achieved in 2022. As humans, we have a tendency to plan ahead a lot when…
