Right now I can only say I’m in my freshman year of next year’s goals and visions. As this year winds down, I’m reflecting on what I’ve accomplished and what went a bit wayside--and what I want to change for next year. Bring in some of this year’s things I didn’t accomplish? Let them go and find new ideas? What will my word and phrase be for 2024?
Carami I’m so excited to read more of your blogs! I’m a freshman in my new job! I think the analogy of being a “freshman” fits perfectly with the way I’m feeling in my new role because of the challenges that come with it, yet it can be rewarding and exciting!
Thanks so much Kaela! I love this...if we can all accept the fact that we are constantly learning, especially when we first start something, then it may take away some of the fear and frustration and allow us to keep on keeping on. :)
On I’m still in 8th grade. Lolol No but starting this second half of my life has been interesting thus far. I feel awkward but loved. Interesting for sure. I was like the Israelites in the beginning of Genesis, lost wandering for forty years of my life. Now starting that second half with my best foot forward, a path and helping hands along the way have helped me understand that my life just started. I don’t feel lost anymore but I’m still a newbie . Honestly I feel like I’m in Young Women’s, with a great group of girls helping me for my sophomore year. Being a teacher but being taught myself. It’s helped me, they’ve help me accept things about me that make me different. I talk too much, I’m hyper and I get distracted or stuck on one thing easily; but they like me the way I am. The Leaders are patient, loving and kind. I feel that this new high school experience has started off better than when I was a kid. I learned though that you need to put yourself out there, trust, engage, be vulnerable, honest. So much that could have helped me as a kid. I feel fortunate at this moment in my life, yet I’m 44 and I feel broken due to health issues. That all goes away, I can just be around my new friend, family and I feel like my struggles are invisible but also supported, considered by those around me. I’ve had a rough life, unfortunate circumstances but this second half , I REFUSE TO GIVE INTO EXCUSES! 🙏🏻💕
This is awesome. How lucky for me to have a mentor & mom in one!!! So proud of you. 🤍
The women in our family outlive the men...so hang in baby!! And keep taking gramma’s herbs!
Moving toward the second decade of my second half, definitely a senior in the school of Weird Vegetarian Food, working on my Phd in Love.
Omgoodness I love you. This is going to be fun Erica!

I am in my freshman year of teaching, even though I have been teaching for seven years. Also, I am a freshman at adult parenting.
OMG adult parenting...yep it's a thing...!! Love it.
