Let’s take a moment to walk around the gardens and the farm. One week after Hurricane Helene hit Western North Carolina where many areas are still isolated and communities destroyed, I take a moment to grieve what is lost.
I’m also thankful for the peace offered through the years in the Blue Ridge Parkway. Information is online for places to donate or what you can do to help.
On the farm, we’ve started clean up from the little damage caused by Helene here. We had one tree fall, and in the video, you can see some branches beneath the leaves, which fell.
They say teacher turn over is high right now, and many teachers will leave the profession in five years or less. I will enter my seventh year as a full-time teacher, and my 12th year in education after I'd started as a sub and teacher assistant. I was the student in the 1990s you did not want in your classroom because I was diagnosed with ADHD and did not know how to socialize with other kids. I was due to be tested for autism, but this was considered an ostracizing experience for a child then, especially a girl. I am a third generation teacher and author of seventeen creative works.

Happy to hear you did not have much damage. We were lucky, only one tree fell that was big enough to saw up.
As a stay at home mom, yoga has helped me compose myself in ways I never expected. I am on a weight loss journey while I attempt to parent my child the best way I know how. Join me on my path and hopefully, it'll inspire you, as well!
