Breaking Up With Red: #SOLSC21
I am officially breaking up with red, and it feels like a crisis.
Texas in National News – Again: #SOLSC21
My beloved Lone Star State has made it to national news yet again. Today, I am relying heavily on mentor texts because I don’t really have words to say.
What They Wish We Knew: #SOLSC21
I assigned this thinking I’d mostly read letters that would lead me to reply notes of encouragement. It turned out to have the opposite effect. It reminded me that our presence matters. Our attitude matters. Our sincere joy at engaging matters. I am COVID-life exhausted. I am COVID-life, pregnant-life exhausted. But I’m going to keep showing up because it matters.
31 Days: #SOLSC21
It’s the first day, and my first year, of Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Story Challenge 2021.

Slice of Life: Notebook Nonsense

Sitting outside on our first tiny apartment’s patio grading essays on a Saturday morning, I firmly decided I’d fake the hell out of self-love.
Slice of Life: Toddler Raised in Quarantine
Not even a year old and, in my dangerous thought traps, my child would turn into a recluse – FOREVER. While I may have been a little nervous as a first time mom, I’m incredibly thankful that we’ve had so much uninterrupted time watching Elías develop right before our eyes. What’s an unexpected blessing you experienced and/or received during pandemic quarantine?
