My second garden club group is coming to an end. I have mixed feelings about letting it go. Last week, I turned in my resignation to the principal at a local elementary school where I have served as a co-curricular advisor for their garden club. I started in the fall of 2017 and will end…
Today, I had a small epiphany! As I sat in the parking lot at a coffee shop during a short break, I thought, “A productive day is not always about getting things done, sometimes it is about how you feel!” I had a busy day. It really could have gone either way. It could have…
