Connecting to Community

Over the course of my teaching career I have come across many different people and have worked in many different educational areas and towns. I have learnt something from all of it. Sometimes the lessons were learnt long after the fact but, learn and grow from it I did. So I’d like to ask youContinue reading “Connecting to Community”

Photo Op….

So today I thought I would share some of my photos I took recently on a walk around my home town. I have always wanted to learn photography and now I try to make the time for photos. I also can’t thank my good friend who also helps with all the technical stuff around eitherContinue reading “Photo Op….”

Peace on the River

We purchased our river place nearly seven years ago. It has given us such pleasure and a sense of peace. There is nothing like waking up and, with your morning cuppa sit and view the river.

Blogging didn’t even occur to me and certainly never on the internet! Well fast forward 10 yearsContinue reading “Take that chance….”

Ethos, Creed or Guiding Principle……

The last few years I’ve started to think deeply about who I want to be. Not what people think about me but actually who or how I want to live my life. I’m not sure if it’s a sign I’m getting older or a response to experiences over the last few years. I think itContinue reading “Ethos, Creed or Guiding Principle……”

Stop! Reflect and Balance

I recently wrote about being busy. Well I unfortunately fell down that rabbit hole. My only saving grace was that I knew it and did not try to out do anyone in how busy I’d been. My work life balance had tipped to far into work. The last few weeks has seen me jump hardContinue reading “Stop! Reflect and Balance”
