This is my original blog. I’ve unlinked the posts since it’s a dozen years old. I haven’t updated for years. I keep this page up as a reminder of the journey. 

Why’s it here still?  Because Pressable (WordPress hosting) grandfathered me into a great package deal to keep all my sites up. Highly recommend. 

This site was a 2012 promise to a friend to write “for real.”  It led to a whole new life: book, a new career, friends and co-workers all over the world. 

My other sites:  

Please see Broke Teacher for education and Poser Homestead for chickens, recipes, and dead zucchini.

Broke Teacher: it’s another “past me” and not updated, but I think what’s there has value to all the teacher-heroes still working on the front lines. So, I’ll leave that one up for anyone who needs it.

Poser Homestead: it’s dead and dated now, but I think I’ll work with it soon. It was ahead of its time when I started it and never really got the love and respect it deserved.
