New Website in the Future...

Katie made me a super awesome website to write on; however, I need to figure out how to use it.  Until I do, check in here and I will post the link for you to switch over, as well.

Happy Graduation today, 8th graders!

Leap


This is how I have been feeling for the past several months.  Well, sometimes I feel more like this than others.  Either way... I have already left the ground on one side of the cliff and just need to trust that where I land will be just what I need.

We are entering the last two weeks of school and I am working on the idea of letting go and being in the flow.  My class just returned from our river trip and being on the river helped me understand something more deeply than I did before; when you are on the river, the water will always flow downstream.  There may be wind or strong currents or rocks in the path and you can choose to let those things bother you or just to keep paddling accordingly, seeing these things as part of the journey.  Whether you are on the river or not, it will continue to flow.  You just need to jump in.
