The Truth

I've been thinking a lot about the truth and what does that mean. How do you determine what is the truth? How can 2 people see or be in the same situation but not have the same truth? How can something be so dependent on perspective carry so much weight in our world and our society?

For me, this blog will be MY truth. This is MY story. What I say and share here is mine and not a reflection of those who may be in my stories or a part of my world and life. I am responsible for my story and to keep it accurate, I promise that what I share here will be my truth. In the same right, I hope that I will be respected as what I share with you may not always be pretty, what you want to hear or what you want for me. I am the writer of my own story and what's on my heart. Sharing is not an easy place to be and anyone who knows me knows how uncomfortable I am with emotions, especially ones that may make me cry. Not in my comfort zone. But I promise to be authentic and truthful. To listen to my heart and let is guide me along this path.


So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run...
-Lady Antebellum, Compass

What It Means to Lose Something

If I hadn't figured out YEARS ago that I was a scattered mind individual and created systems to keep it together, gracious me, I would be a disaster.  I found myself in a meeting today, semi-panicked, because I couldn't use my phone to take notes of things that were coming to mind, so I had to flip over a sheet of paper I was using and just write down a couple of key words to keep it together. If I can't 'document' it somehow, it'll be gone. And my organization system might not make sense to everyone, but it works. For example, I have a silver turtle candle holder on the 1st shelf of my bookcase. Under that turtle goes receipts and documents I need to file. No real rhyme or reason as to how that became 'my place' but that's how it works while I'm in this apartment. I have a similar system with my keys- all 3 sets (car, apartment, work). If I stick with the system, I can usually avoid misplacing or losing things... key word = usually. But some...

Because of You

This weekend I was reminded of why I ended up in my career.  There was a really long period of time where I thought I wanted to be a teacher, but when I was in the classroom, I found I wasn't fulfilled. While I personally loved poetry, I hated trying to get the class I was student teaching with to learn the information. I struggled with how is this going to help them grow up and be good people... Especially when many of them were experiencing forms of abuse and neglect. I was more concerned with addressing their physical and emotional needs. It was hard to admit the career I thought was perfect for me was in fact totally wrong. Between an awesome mentor and being involved on campus, I discovered that I could make working on a college campus a full time job. I earned my masters and started in a full time capacity in 2009. I've been so lucky to work with so many amazing college students since I began my masters in 2007. And this weekend was one of the best I've had in my role...
