This starts my 22nd year of teaching middle school. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most impactful days I have ever had.
I tried a new activity called “The Baggage Activity”. I asked the kids what it meant to have baggage and they mostly said it was hurtful stuff you carry around on your shoulders.
I asked them to write down on a piece of paper what was bothering them, what was heavy on their heart, what was hurting them, etc. No names were to be on a paper. They wadded the paper up, and threw it across the room.
They picked up a piece of paper and took turns reading out loud what their classmate wrote. After a student read a paper, I asked who wrote that, and if they cared to share.
I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and about and shared with the class.
Things like su***de, parents in prison, drugs in their family, being left by their parents, death, cancer, losing pets (one said their gerbil died cause it was fat, we giggled😁) and on and on.
The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally draining day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more, and forgive a little faster.
This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage. We will leave it at the door. As they left I told them, they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.
I am honored to be their teacher.

Meet Martha. I ran into Dollar Tree to get tweezers (because I can't seem to find any of mine) and this sweet lady stopped us at checkout. She asked if I would give her permission to give Hensli some money to get whatever she would like. As I teared up (because why wouldn't I!) I said of course, and thanked her but asked why she wanted to do something so nice. She said she had a cart full once and someone paid for her cart, and this was nothing like that but wanted to do something. ♡♡♡ Henz hugged her and we thanked her more and asked if we could get a picture (she said she would but that she isn't good at smiling for pictures...I beg to differ!). She was so humble and thought we were being too appreciative for what she thought was something so little. I don't think that was little at all, and Henz sure didn't either. It meant so much for me to have Hensli see and receive Martha's generosity.
I asked Henz what she wanted to do with the money. She ended buying a gift for her teacher, stopping to get ice cream, a book about a messy dog, donating a dollar, and saving the rest to put in Sunday offering and to give someone else the next time we are at a Dollar Tree. ♡ A little kind gesture from sweet Martha impacted not just the two of us but at least 4 others. Thank you Jesus for this woman's life and thank you to the person who once bought Martha's cart. Thank you Martha for passing along the blessing you received and allowing my daughter to do the same. The next time I am in the Dollar Tree I will think of you and be sure to pass on your generosity to someone in line as well. Thank you for spreading goodness in this world and allowing me to share your beautiful soul!

Today God reminded me why I do what I do! While pumping gas this beautiful girl came to my truck... tears rolled in my eyes as I looked at her, her parents and big brother... Her mom said to her do you remember your angel, why did she say this? Because just over 3 years ago I was giving her lifeless daughter CPR. She was almost 2 and today she proudly shared she is 5 and on her way to Disney! This was such a blessed reminder why I do the job I do, and beyond grateful to the amazing agency I work for that believes in top notch training for their deputies and equipment to do our everyday tasks. Enjoy your Disney weekend pretty girl, you left my heart so full

Sometimes it’s impossible to take husband and wife portraits at sunset with better lighting, so that’s when you find a big tree for some nice shaded pictures👌🏼

Thinking about the future scares me. I’ve always been a “live life one-day-at-a-time” type of gal but the pandemic has really opened my eyes about how having some type of backup plan or career goals can be helpful.

Are you like me and enjoy being spontaneous but despise planning, or are you more of a type a person?
