I have been teaching for 6 years, married for 3 years, and a mother for 5 months. I’ve been writing, though, for as long as I can remember. With a mountain of emotions these days, it’s writing that I need to go back to. Whether it be my emotions, thoughts, fears, trials and tribulations, experiences, or questions to ponder, I will be using this platform as a way to release thoughts from my mind. With my pending return to work lurking right around the corner, I thought it best to get started. Like most writers, my thoughts often lift me up but also weigh me down. Although I am more fond of pen and paper, keeping efficiency in mind, typing is much faster. I will be writing while my son sleeps next to our bed in his bassinet and during the few minutes I have between planning periods and my classes, all the while continuing to format these thoughts while they float around in my head. My goal is simple, to find the inner release most writers long for. If I happen to get a few readers, please be kind and enjoy the mess of craziness that goes on in the life of a new mother.
