Lately, I’ve been asking myself a question I didn’t expect to need:
“What brings me joy right now?”
And I don’t mean performative positivity or pretending everything’s fine. I mean the little, messy, delightful things that give you a dopamine boost:
💛 Laughing until you snort 💛 Dancing around the kitchen 💛 Rewatching your comfort show 💛 Snuggling with your pets 💛 Getting irrationally excited about your coffee order
Joy isn’t a distraction from the work—it’s the fuel for it. ... See MoreSee Less
So true. I have been juggling a lot of things I wanted to accomplish but realized I needed to prioritize what was most important to me and table some tasks that I wanted to do because weren’t quite as important. They are on my someday task list but not forgotten.
Most people think confidence looks like boldness, charisma, or having all the answers.
But real confidence?
🙏 It’s quiet. 🙏 It’s steady. 🙏 It’s built in the moments no one sees — when you choose to show up even when it’s hard.
In this video, I'm sharing a personal take on what confidence really means, how to build it, and why it has everything to do with your emotional reserves.

Speaking up when I am in meetings with our school administration. I am a teacher leader, not school admin, and sometimes I feel a bit out of place and hesitant to speak.
Another “winner” post, Anne. Love this. So true! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I am officially on vacation, so I won’t be posting for a couple of weeks. Thought I'd share my OOO. Feel free to use it!
Out of Office: Gone Campin’
Thanks for your message! I’m currently off the grid—camping, recharging, and resisting the urge to check email.
If it’s urgent, my rockstar team’s got you: [email protected]
If it’s an emergency, please stop typing and call 911.
I’ll be back soon—clearer, calmer, and slightly more mosquito-bitten.
Until then, stay well, be kind, and don’t forget to hit your own reset button once in a while. ... See MoreSee Less

He is a handsome boy.
If you're tired, you're not failing—you're feeling.
Midyear fatigue doesn’t mean you’re broken or weak. It means you're human in a high-pressure world that rarely lets up.
Let’s stop glamorizing burnout and start normalizing taking time to reset.
✅ You don’t have to disappear to reset.
✅ Small shifts make a big impact.
✅ You are allowed to need rest, even when things are “fine.”
Your mental health is not a side project—it’s the foundation.

Overthinking: the sport where you burn all your energy, solve nothing, and still end up exhausted. 💥
