✨ Happy Friday! ✨ This week I stepped back into the workforce as a w-2 employee for the first time since 2008 🤯 Lately, at 51, I’ve been wrestling with purpose at this stage of my life. The kids are growing up, and while they may not need me in the same ways, I feel like they need me more than ever—just differently. I’ve also been reflecting on how digital media impacts us. While I love people (connection is everything to me!) and believe staying in touch is vital for our well-being and longevity, I also feel like sometimes these platforms can take more than they give. That doesn’t mean I’ll stop sharing the things I love—deals I find, recipes I enjoy—but how I show up may shift as I lean more into face-to-face connection and meaningful relationships. Today’s youth is at risk like never before and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than staying engaged and giving with purpose—starting with substitute teaching. 👩🏻‍🏫 Here’s my first day ’fit courtesy of Target, LOFT and Amazon 🖤 🔗 L I N K E D in my LTK ⬇️
