Retirement has a beautiful way of slowing life down. Less rushing, more wandering, and more time to soak in the beauty of good places and simple moments. Turns out, slowing down might be the best part of living. ❤️
My next chapter began today. ❤️ I’m so excited to work with staff and students in a new way. Hearing the story of how this school came to be made me even more certain that I’m doing the right thing for right now. I hope to make life easier for the amazing people serving kids.
Getting to see some of my former teacher colleagues was amazing. I haven’t worked there in more than 10 years, but being back with them made it feel like just yesterday. I loved teaching middle school, and these people will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️
I’ve been fortunate to be part of several incredible schools over the years. Each one was different, but they all had one thing in common: the people. No matter the building, the greatest gift was always the people.
A surprise stop at summer camp on my last day, and the kids delivered exactly what I needed—big smiles, big energy, and full hearts. Leaving the people is tough, but I’m ready for a slower pace and excited to see what comes next.
Cheering on Team USA with colleagues-turned-friends. It’s a good reminder that some of the greatest gifts of our careers are the people we meet along the way.
