Embracing my job…

I have a job in education, and it’s both thrilling and tiring. It’s kind of like attempting to teach a cat to do the Macarena! Maybe that’s why we get summers off and a buffet of breaks sprinkled throughout the school year, like confetti!

My relationship with my job is a love/hate saga. It’s like being married to someone who sweeps you off your feet one moment. Then they throw a full-blown temper tantrum the next. But honestly, seeing our students every day is the cherry on top of this wild dessert. They never fail to entertain us with their outlandish excuses for why their homework still resembles a ghost story!

I have been employed at my school for three years. This marks my second year in the glamorous world of coaching. Every day feels like an episode of a reality show! Some days throw challenges at me like they’re auditioning for the Olympic dodgeball team. Honestly, it’s the most rewarding circus act of my job. Coaching? I never thought I’d be any good at it. I can barely coach myself out of bed in the morning! I forced my fears aside like a coach pushing snacks away at a team meeting. I decided to put the kids first. This opportunity popped up out of nowhere, like a surprise quiz, but I’ve fully embraced it. I’ve fallen head over heels for nurturing the young minds of our future—who, by the way, think they know everything (spoiler alert: they don’t!). Building relationships with my students and community is a true blessing. Let’s be honest, it’s way more entertaining than binge-watching those reality shows!

I am part of the special education department. In this role, I review Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). This is to ensure compliance with the regulations of the state of Arizona. Well that is one of the many duties of my role. This year, I have had to learn to establish boundaries in my role. My experience as a leader over the past couple of years has made it particularly difficult. It is challenging to separate my responsibilities. But I am learning!

Taking the time to rest…

I’ve dived headfirst into the holidays to recharge my batteries. A thrilling semester and softball season await me. I’ve stumbled upon a colorful new view of my life. It’s kind of like putting on funky 3D glasses! My faith has always been the pulsating drumbeat of my journey. I am committed to strengthening my bond with God. Let’s be honest, it’s the only relationship where I don’t have to share dessert!

He’s nudged me to rethink my circle of friends – you know, those who bring cookies instead of drama. The bold decision to kick out the negative vibes is like doing a dance-off with bad influences: liberating and empowering! Isn’t that a hoot? It’s all about loving yourself so much that you can roll out the welcome mat for delightful, positive change (preferably with confetti)!

As I deepen my relationship with God through prayer, I begin to understand my quirky human design. It feels like putting on a detective hat. I’ve come to the hilarious conclusion that I’m an empath. Who knew my superpower was basically emotional WiFi?

This lightbulb moment has turned my spiritual journey into a comedy show. I can fully embrace my sensitivity. I have a penchant for crying at cat videos. I also found out I’m an Alchemist Generator—sounds fancy, right? Apparently, this means I’m on a lifelong quest. I strive to try and fail spectacularly. This finally explains why my financial success has been playing hide and seek. Ultimately, I’m just here to celebrate my wonderfully weird evolutionary design—pass the confetti!
