Hello, As I start my 32nd year of life, I wanted to reflect on the 31st year of my life. 31 was a life-changing year, and I spent some time yesterday, on the day of my birth, reflecting on where I was last year during this time. It was the start of so many new…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 46
Alright, so January of 2016 left me wondering what my next steps will be in my career. To my surprise, the toy store stayed open for one more year. The landlord couldn’t find another tenant. I was annoyed. Here I was, trying to figure out how I would pay my bills and take on odd…

#235 the last night of my 20s
Last day of my 20s June 4th. 2022 was the last night of my 20s. It didn’t hit me until my best friend sent me a video from my 27th birthday. I couldn’t believe that three years has already passed by. Life is such a beautiful yet frightening experience. It goes by so fast. It…

#173 “my daughter is as strong as a man,”
It is national women's month in March. In the classroom that I co-teach in, I started going over what Women’s month means and why. We watched a couple of videos and then we picked a Nearpod assignment. Nearpod is premade lessons by LAUSD and other teachers that are accessible to all educators. We scrolled through…
#108 bare feet
I walked out to my backyard with no shoes on. My feet are bare and I love it. Yeah, they might get dirty but I love it. I love having bare feet. I love the feeling of cold cement or tile or whatever on my feet. I really love the way hot sand feels on…
