My work space, my place of concentration and love, and diligence at what I do. My job doesn't take up my life like it use to. But it does feel good to know that I do something I love and I love what I do.

Every day isn't awesome but it's a good place to start. I like the work that I do and the people I'm able to interact with. My goal in college was to become an elementary school teacher so I could go back to the town I use to live in and find a decent enough job while starting a family. When the life I envisioned and the person I envisioned everything with started to wear thin, I realized teaching wasn't my dream or goal-it was the easiest and most available option. 

I didn't want to become a miserable teacher. I had enough of those and when goals fall short I believe it's heartbreak that you really can't hide. I didn't want to hide. I put myself through three years of college/technical school and realized that I wasn't sure what my goals were going to be so I stepped away from school, packed up my debt, and a few bags of clothing and decided I needed to get home and figure out what I could actually be useful at and follow that desire. Here I am.

Teaching may just be a goal I am willing to work hard toward. I am looking at collegiate programs now and considering my options. My weakness is in math and I know in order to get back on track I will need to find the time and money to get myself over that hump before I commit to a full schedule of classes.

My 2020 Aspiration: Garth Brooks and Kelly Clarkson

One of the best days of my life in being able to support someone who has the capacity to help so many others. I had some amazing life lines I utilized and had the opportunity to support women showing up for other women in a way that we never have the time or opportunity to do as much as I would like to see...but for one day some beautiful and important relationships were made to help see someone through a transitional time in life that I still struggle with.  I am so grateful for the ability to find support and direction in what it is that I'm doing and what it is that I can do better not only for myself but for my family.

Hierarchy of Needs

Here we go again, spring time is in the air and so is the excitement of trying to figure out how the summer will proceed. For the field of work that I now find myself it is a number of questions with the most pressing being: how to develop safe environments. There are so many factors but Maslow had some divine intervention to develop such a clear and concise theory. The coming week will be transforming and revealing for what we can accomplish or the coming quarter and year.

Fifteen Days to go-men's wear

For some reason I think Mountain Hardware jackets are sexy, if you are ever in a position to rock some mountain hardware for it's original purpose then you have to be rock solid and ready for whatever the elements bring your way. The Men's Nitrous is my favorite men's jacket, has been since it came out a few years back and when the price is right I think I'm going to snatch one up for some guy that deserves one, just cause it's an awesome outerware layer and looks good.
