What’s Your End Game?

I’m at a loss for words.  Not because I’m really at a loss.  But because my brain is sort of mushy, and I can’t think.  I spent the last two days writing lesson plans to teach my biology students about basic chemistry.  Which turned into me attempting to completely relearn everything I learned in chemistry [...]

In Search of: A Little Self-Care

Well.  Tomorrow is D-Day.  I head back to work.  Although I’ve been checking my email like a mad-woman, I still haven’t heard from my principal.  So we’ll see how that goes.  In the meantime, I got a bunch of work done on my lesson plans and curriculum.  If things don’t work out, it won’t be [...]

Are You There, Universe? It’s Me, Heather.

I spent the evening hanging out at my favorite tea shop.  Well, I’m starting to second guess that statement.  The place is awesome, but when I went back for my usual refill of hot water, the owner gave me a hard time.  Um.  Dude.  I come here all the time.  I always buy a full [...]

The Cove

So last night I watched this documentary that I’ve been wanting to see.  It’s called The Cove. I’m not sure how I even heard of it.  I wasn’t sure at all what it was about.  I just knew there was a picture of dolphins on the cover, and I sort of figured it had something [...]

What’s Next: Travel, Work and School

I just spent an afternoon walking along the water, brainstorming plans for the next few seasons.  Remember that post I wrote a couple of weeks ago — the one about finding a way to get out there and travel?  You’ll be happy to know (or at least I am) that I’m taking that priority seriously.  [...]

The Benefits of a College Education and Why I Wouldn’t Trade Mine for the World

Lately, I’ve been noticing a trend when it comes to blogs about lifestyle design.  Lots of college educated bloggers are going out there and talking smack about higher education. I think this is unfortunate. Here’s why:  If you find yourself with the inclination and opportunity to redesign your life (perhaps even the chance to quit [...]
