Here is a word vomit. I am going to be opening up a new kindergarten class at the school that I work for. Kindergarten is a magical time for kids and parents, and it can be atrocious for the teachers. That age is hard to manage because the kids are so excited about everything and…
#208 potential
I want to write. I want to start filming shorts. I need to start. All week, I have been thinking itching to have free time to get some writing in. Some deep and thoughtful writing. The week after Halloween always is bitter-sweet for me. I had a fantastic spooky season but now it's over. I…
#207 Ding Dong Ditch: A Haunted School
I’ve been feeling inspired lately. It might be the one rainy day in Los Angeles or the spooky season. Maybe it's that my workplace seems even more spooky with the yellow and red leaves flowing with the wind all over the playground and little children playing.

***I spent my days last week listening to spoken word poetry by Rupi Kaur. To my surprise, I was gifted her new book later in the week. Strange right? (Thank you Joanna). Synchronizing is what my therapist calls it. Enjoy this random spoken word poem. Kind of want to do an open mic night soon…
