Well, it’s almost February….

With 2021 well underway, I believe its time for me to jump back on the horse and update this blog! My word for this year = intention. I struggle to balance my three worlds, (family world, teacher world and author world). Its 5:10am here and my new blue heeler puppy rests at my feet, annoyed he is having to wait to go on a walk. I know I’m not alone in the quest to “do it all”. My intention is to get up at 4:00am. I hear the alarm and shut it off. I lay in bed thinking of writing this post and even of doing a 30 minute peloton workout, but I remain motionless until 4:52am. I’m a work in progress, but it feels good to write this in the silence of my living room. I’m seated at our occasional table right by the front door. I think of all the things that lie before me today and happily, know this post is almost complete. Intention, what a strong word to anchor myself to each day. I’m going to redefine it to be softer, more grace giving and open. My intention this year is to gift myself more time to write and post. Today gives me hope I can do it!
