Change will come, oh change WILL come.....

Well where to start. Last Friday, Jan 28 - I got a shocking bit of news - the company I have worked for - for the last 4 years - laid me off, along with about 9 others.

The shock is wearing off and the reminders of "everything happens for a reason" & "it's probably for the best" & to quote my aunt "one door closes and a new one opens" (love that one!).

Remembering to breathe and that money flows like the breath and being open to new possiblities.

I had planned on jumping right into observing this week but my daughter has been home sick so, as blessings go, Thank You God - for this time to heal. There is always next week.

Plus I want to teach!!!! I know it IS my vocation. Amen!

Snow, Spring 2011 semester begins, student teaching on the horizon........

Well it's January---- February is already just around the corner. This semester looks to be the most jam packed yet. 71 hours of observation needed for student teaching, 9 hours of classes, 35 + hours of work required to stay fulltime, TEAC, finished portfolio, PLT test.... kids, bills, house and work. Hubby still out of town, son off at college - just me and cutie pie.

I just hope and pray that I can get through it all with my sanity and my health in tact.

I'm trying to breathe more - take things one day at a time and NOT procrastinate. Get my rest, vitamins, eat healthy.. think positively.

WISH ME LUCK AND ASK GOD FOR HELP AND MERCY! Amen.

thanks universe. vb
