Seeing is Believing!

Well ... it was kind of surreal ... seeing myself on TV this morning!  It was my first time.  Less than a week ago, John Hook, a news anchor from our local Fox channel, contacted me about coming in to tape for his Newsmaker Sunday show.  I went in on Thursday for the interview.  Although I was super nervous, he put me at ease quite quickly when he came out to greet me in the lobby.  I found him to be very personable and genuinely interested in my message and what we teachers are going through.  I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be on this program.

As soon as I knew it would be broadcast this Sunday, I contacted friends, family, senators, my congressional rep, our city council, our school board and anybody else I could think of!  I figure if they don't get the message through the book ... maybe TV will be the ticket!  Afterall, sometimes, SEEING is believing, right?!

(I am hoping to find a link for the program soon.  I'll post it when I find it.)  Thanks for reading!

Busier than ever!

You know - it's kind of crazy.  I am beginning my third year of not working full time, and I am BUSIER THAN EVER!  More days than not, I am asking myself, "How did I ever have time to work a full time job?"  I mean - today, I almost did not have time for a nap!  I know, you might be laughing - but for me, it's got to be scheduled in.  With my rheumatoid arthritis, it is crucial for me to get the rest my body needs in order to be as healthy as possible.  Along with that is my gym time which usually consists of a yoga class.  What else?  Well .. .marketing, networking, selling, planning for my book.  And ... clipping coupons, ad matching, marriage mentoring, PTA volunteering, substitute teaching, shopping, cleaning, paying bills, and taking care of my amazing family.  Whew!  See - busier than ever!  BUT ... I wouldn't trade it for the world.  I am so grateful to have the freedom to have a schedule that allows me to take care of myself and my loved ones.  This new chapter in my life has been a blessing.

So - whatever your daily schedule is ... busy, slow; full time, part time; mom or not ... find the joy in whatever that day holds.  You know the cliche ... today is a gift - that's why it's called the present.

Blessings friends!

Until next time ~
