This is a site that challenges the walls of our mind, our classrooms, our houses to transform into windows. These windows allow us to collaborate, connect, learn, and inspire each other through being visible, modelling, and instilling healthy habits every, single, day.
It’s hard to be human sometimes! It is really hard to sift through our emotions and challenges that arise throughout our days, especially those moments that erupt out of nowhere. I felt like I had failed so many times because of these explosions. However, I have changed my mind. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t […]
Building a school culture where everyone wants to be there and work towards the most optimal learning possible is a tough job. It has to go beyond the curriculum and back to the days where breaking bread was how we got things done. Sometimes keeping it simple, with a plate of food, a coffee, and […]
At what point are we, as leaders,expecting or asking too much? I had a conversation a few weeks ago and this question seemed to be the propeller of the topic of the discussion. The person whom I had been talking to posed this thought and it stopped me in my tracks. I was a little […]
When I think about our world, so many questions and thoughts run through my head. Questions such as, “what has our world come to? Why do we judge our worth and each other on likes and followers?

Conversations, silence, thoughts, and responses. It is so important to have conversations and make decisions yet people say we have to watch what we say or do. Then we think about what we said and we make up our own stories in our minds, which then evokes a response of regret or ‘should haves’. This […]
There is something about new days, new beginnings, new school years, and new life. It is a sense of renewal. It is that pause between breaths and that satisfaction of a new breath filling your lungs. It is that bright spot and that moment when everything seems ok. I love coming back to school and […]
Opening up the walls, sending forth ripples of energy, empowerment, and knowledge in an effort to break down the barriers of resistance and self-doubt can be a very daunting task for leaders and teachers. The walls of a classroom are wise. They hold the superpowers, the teaching methods, and the successes of the teachers, students, […]
Surround yourself with people. All kinds of people. People who challenge you, who have the same aspirations, who are completely different, who have paved the path before you, and who inspire you.
