I moved back home in Jan.
Cousin Barbara wanted to have a family dinner to celebrate my being the 1st in the fam to earn a doctorate.
I told her she really didnโt have to do anything.
Cousin Barbara, a retired elementary school teacher, sent a text with dinner details.

My best friend and I normally spend a day or so planning for the upcoming school year; heโs a principal, too. We would normally meet in a city, hit a coffee shop, and knock out the work.
This year was just waffles and no work, and allโs right with the world.

Dallas as storyteller:
A little over a month ago, I found a role aligned with my goals and skills. I took a faith leap, flew in and out for the interview, and now preparing for my last week in the DMV.
Chicagoland, to thee I return.
Take risks, have faith. Journey with me.

Iโm what you call a โvillage kidโ. I was raised by an amazing mom and my Ts.
Before leaving home, I had to see my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Walton.
My goal is for my kids to feel an ounce of the type of love and care that my teachers provided for me. It made a difference.
