Busiest Year Ever.

What a year!

In the past 12 months, I ...

- relocated with my family from Dallas to Washington, D.C.
- started a new job at an amazing school for girls in Bethesda, Maryland
- taught at a week-long advancement academy in Colorado
- graduated from Seton Hall University with a master's in strategic communications and leadership
- began a post-grad marketing certification program at Georgetown
- and perfected a recipe for coconut-crusted tilapia that my children adore.

All in all...life is busy, but blessed!

And as I acclimate to a life without grad school homework, I thought what better use of all this extra time than to dust off the ol' blogger app and get to writing. So here I am... back in the blogging saddle, on the east coast, on the second day of spring, with a windchill factor below freezing, and reflecting on how far I've come and how much further I get to go.

First order of business...start reading the pile of professional resource books on my nightstand and report back to you all with helpful tips. The lucky numero uno is Natalie Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones" - an oldie but goodie on finding your voice and telling authentic stories.

Sounds good to me...let's get to it!
