I recently made an interesting discovery. I am 10 times more likely to write if I have a cheap blue pen & a legal pad. Weird, right? I won't question it. Since my little discovery, I've had breakthroughs in my life.
I just recently finished writing my resignation letter to my employer. Even though I won't be handing it in for another month or so, it still felt so good to put pen to paper and finally just do it. I've been working at my job for exactly three years this month. I've been in three different classrooms and I've seen a lot of kids come and go. I've been wanting to find a new job for a while now but the timing was never right. The timing literally just became "right" on Monday. I'll share more about my new job situation another day. It's all still very fresh and I don't want to put the cart before the horse.
I created a bucket list! It's been something that I've been wanting to do for a long time, and just never got around to doing. Let me tell you, half the fun is writing it!

Chris & I have been seriously talking about a dream of ours recently. It's called Love Loud and I'm really excited to share it with the world soon. :) It's so healthy to write with pen and paper. Sometimes, typing on a keyboard just doesn't cut it for me.
Simply, Kate
