I am making some changes to my blog and for the few of you out there who are on this journey with me, I hope the changes are only for the good. Essentially, I want to expand what I am doing here -- venture into some new areas in terms of my writing and sharing it with you. I have been following The Pioneer Woman and one of the many things I love about her blog is that she has a place for everything -- confessions, cooking, photography -- they each have their own space. As I have been writing the last few months, I have been inspired to do a variety of things, but I wasn't sure if they "fit." Looking at my house, my car, my classroom, you would never suspect that I adore organization, but I actually do. So, this is my first step. From now on, this will be the "control center" for my blog -- the place to begin. From here, you will be able to go to More Than I Should Bear to continue reading about how the various parts of my life -- teacher, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend -- intersect and how I learn from those overlapping moments.
In addition to that, though, I am hoping to have a few new adventures here. I am thinking about sharing my poetry more frequently. I am thinking about sharing more about the craft of teaching, specific practices, lessons, issues associated with the classroom and education. I am thinking about sharing the stories of the amazing teachers we have serving our communities -- perhaps some interviews with educators making an impact on the lives of children. I have some more ideas, too (of course I do!) but I'll save those for later. Simply put, I am thinking about sharing. I want to do more because I love it so much. I hope you do, too.
