The Little Things

“God will provide,” my mom would always say.   Words uttered from a tear drenched face, with tired eyes, and a clenched jaw.   Did she believe it?  Was she praying? Or was …

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is Love.” -Socrates Science of Love scienceoflove.blog/2026/03/3… via @awakeaccelerate

Science of Love

Love is a science. It is a practice. It is an action. It is a decision. It is a state of mind. It is a sense of being.  Love hones habits, cultivates character, and kneads the essence of your …

Next quest is a devotional for teens. We need to help set the tone for the next generation. They have hurdles we never faced as kids and the greatest is the fight to find love, love of self and love of others. Love the Best Parts awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Teen Devotional: Love the Best Parts

When asked what you love about yourself, what comes to mind? Do you struggle to find the words? Maybe you dig through the social groups you align with at school, such as athlete, nerd, gamer, or co…

PD should not be about a workshop, class, or activity.  It’s a mindset.  It’s a relentless pursuit of being better tomorrow than you were today.

Reading Nietzsche and this quote struck me- “strength of mind might be measured by the amount of truth it can endure.” The fragility of our humanity lies in the reality we refuse to bear witness to because of the suffering it brings.

Day 40: Unpacking awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 40: Unpacking

Tonight my husband decided to go through an old container of keepsakes and mementos. The kids laughed at his old drawings and writings. He softened and relished the memories that no doubt had an im…

Day 38: Healed awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 38: Healed

There is a misconception that pain is meant to be healed. Or maybe the misconception is really centered around what healing truly means? Often we think of healing as a means of removing pain, makin…

Wherever you find yourself in life, take a moment to pause. Look back not to ruminate, but to appreciate. Every now and again, glance down that old hallway and say thank you. Day 37: Old Hallways awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 37: Old Hallways

Change is hard. Starting over can feel impossible. However, nothing new can come from remaining where we are in fear of where we are going. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to revisit the elementar…

Everyday I commit to my family, a vocation I love, and to being the best me I can be. When we balance and commit to the right things, our obligations become the blocks we use build a life on. Day 36: commitment awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 36: commitment

Embarking on a 40-day writing challenge was a commitment I wasn’t expecting to be so cumbersome. I had some juggling to do to make this happen. I had to evaluate when I could make the time, w…

Day 34: Not Earned awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 34: Not Earned

I have a phrase in my home and with my students; my love is not earned. They already have it. There is nothing they have to do to gain it and nothing they can do that would eliminate it. Recently, …

Even when the blanket cools, the hugs fade, and the time seems to evaporate, the love is always there whenever you need to crawl in and rest your weary heart. Day 33: Huggabugga awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 33: Huggabugga

It’s not a real word. In fact, I don’t really know how one would even spell it. But in my house, growing up, it was the phrase my mom always used when she wanted to cuddle. I can rememb…

Such as the Wizard of Oz, we are all just a person behind the curtain projecting an image of strength for the world to see. Day 32: Honesty awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/… via @awakeaccelerate

Day 32: Honesty

I had a very honest conversation about the concept of lying with a student one day. As much as he admitted that his home valued honesty and his religion called for honesty, he couldn’t help b…

I am reminded at the amazing gift teachers have to see the hidden, to notice the smallest of things because they care more about what kids need than the scores they produce. Now, more than ever, the world needs you awakeandaccelerate.com/2025/…

Day 30: Behind the Veil

Perfection. In the wrong hands, yielded with misunderstanding, it is a disease. It erodes the spirit, reducing it to measures that can never be met with satisfaction. It is fatal to some who believ…

Guilt vs Grace awakeandaccelerate.com/2022/… via @awakeaccelerate

Guilt vs Grace

The older I get the more I realize my biggest critic in this life has been myself.  The opposition in my life has merely been an illusion of self-inflicted doubt, judgment, and criticism.  The fact…

Day 27: Terms of Endearment

My great-aunt Ev called everybody by some kind of pet name. From the bank teller to the waitress, everyone was either honey, baby, or sweetie. Maybe it was because she couldn’t remember names…

Day 24: Mustard Seed

Today I sat with my father looking at old family pictures. There were the cringe pics of my awkward middle school years. There were the family members who have passed, who I struggled to recall. Th…
