About Me

I was a second-career teacher, newly retired. In my other life, I crunched numbers as an accountant. Probably would have made a great math teacher had the thought occurred to me. No matter, I'm where I'm supposed to be. I have 2 grown daughters, 2 sons-in-law, a baby granddaughter, 2 poodles, and 1 hubby. I live and worked on Long Island.

No Judgment

Today I realized the freedom of being straight with someone. 
No-holds-barred honesty.

Today I grasped that acknowledgement of my struggle does not mean that I’m weak.
Or that I’m less than.

Today I recognized that divulging my truth doesn’t mean that I’ve admitted defeat.
And that I've just begun the journey.

Today I learned that I can reveal my fears and I won’t be judged inadequate.
This revelation will set me free.

Today I appreciate that it’s ok to ask for help.
That I am not doing it alone.

Today I feel lighter.

    In vulnerability we find connection, and in connecting, strength. Sounds like a life lesson to lift your spirit today!
