Why Blog This Journey?
1. People are going to ask, that's why. And I'm introverted. I cringe when people question me. Yet, I deeply care about people. I care about YOU! If you are reading this, I already love you. I just can't spend a lot of time with you or talk to you for more than about 10 minutes. I'm also self-diagnosed somewhere on the spectrum of ASD. I don't have any friends. Ask my husband and children. Not a friend. Ask my sisters. I'm a terrible sister, moderate aunt, down-right awful daughter, and marginal mom (when it comes to being warm-fuzzy.) I'm an awesome mom if you consider I have six amazingly brilliant children who all like each other and still talk to me. :) I'm an excellent teacher of science in the classroom. I love my students! They only relationship award I might win is that of Granny. I'm a granny to two precious girls. It is pure perfection.
2. My brain likes to keep track of crap. I just shut myself out of all social media. I need a way to communicate with the outside world, which is really about caring deeply about relieving suffering today in any way possible through my own journey to rise again. If anything I post here helps you in any way, it feeds my soul! But ultimately, I like keeping track of progress. I love patterns and numbers and ways of mapping progress and success. This wouldn't work well for me if I wasn't able chart a course for myself and others.
3. I already know I'm going to be successful. It would seem like a waste to not show you how to be successful too. Like seriously, what if all educators on planet earth followed the same plan I'm blogging about and reclaimed our health? Holy Huge! Instead, what I'm currently witnessing is teachers unable to make it to the rule of 90, going on medical disability, and dying early from diseases, or compensating with anti-depressants, caffeine, crap food, not enough sleep, and stress. But our students are well cared for.
Nooooooo! We are going to Rise Again, I say!
