I thought I would know how to start this, but I still don't. I have been toying around with starting a blog for quite some time and for some reason, in this particular time and this particular space, I finally took the plunge. This blog is here for 2 reasons. One, it serves as a running record of the fun, inspiring, educational, enlightening, and down right cute stuff I experience working with students, other educators, and people. From being a daycare teacher to a school counselor, I have heard and seen things that have made me laugh, cry, gasp, and most importantly, they have changed my life. I want to share this because I want to and hope it helps, in some small way. Maybe, if you are reading this, you are a parent looking for some resources, maybe, you are another educator looking for a story you can relate too. Or maybe you are a person in the world who is lookin' for a little extra light in your day. Bottom line is, no matter who you are, I hope this little blog can maybe be that little nugget of light for you.
Reason number 2, is I want to do this. I am currently 25 and I have a lot of living ahead of me, so why not start a blog? I want to share the things and the people that inspire. The nerdy stuff I love. There is going to be a lot of sharing on this blog. Sharing of stories, experiences, research, movies, music, books etc. Maybe you will find something you like or if not, that is cool too! This blog is a place of love and light. So, here we go! I hope to post something more interesting soon other than just an intro. But a step is step and a start is a start! This post is appropriatly called Jarod. In loving honnor and remembrance of my dear friend Jarod VonRuden. Jarod would tell me to do it. To start it. To go for it. Jarod's adventures looked a hellava (yes that is now a word) lot different than mine and involved planes, salsa dancing, and mountains. However, among the many things my friendship with Jarod taught me, this little/big lesson I learned has been crucial. It's ok that your adventures look different. Go on them. Maybe your adventure is starting a blog, going for a walk in the park, going to a diffrent country, doing charity work, singing in bars, coaching, and/or roaming the library for a good book. Go on your adventure. Whatever it is, being whoever you are. Put it back into the world. Here we go, Jarod, here we go.
