I am a mother of two and the wife of one. 

While many want to be a doctorate, I feel it is the one thing that will bring me to the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs. 

I started this journey many years ago, but life happened. My children needed me and I was busy living. 

So this year was my year of not moving it feels like. So I cut my hair. Focused on learning new material and focus on getting through this very long and very tough year. 

I really need a journal so that I have something to document my journey for myself. I feel that this blog may be my outlet. I am not worried about anyone reading this and but if I can help someone great!

I am a Maker. I make all kinds of things ... here is wall storage that is made of an air conditioner duct, and some PVC pipe 

I have taught for over 35 years now and really do not feel like I am ready to retire. I want to work in higher education after my 30 years with the school district that I am with right now. But I want to retire from the day-to-day classroom experience.
