This has been a crazy, unexpected year of change, waiting, and appreciation. When school started everything flipped upside down. I  accepted a new career path as a retreat director starting in January. The wait for the transition has been a painful and uncomfortable period. I know in a few weeks I am going to be closing one chapter of my life and starting another. There will be tears (I am going to miss my students and a few really good coworkers) and joy (to make new friends), it&#8217;s such a bumpy ride. I am appreciative of this new opportunity of the experience of being a teacher, of the love and support of my students, family and good friends through it all. I finished my final paper for my Master&#8217;s Degree (still waiting for the grade) and I started a Spiritual Direction Internship, it is unbelievably mind blowing!! My oldest son started college and my middle son started high school. Life is in constant motion! I am so blessed to live in it!<br \/>\nToday, I am going to celebrate my gifts, opportunities, and love of my students, family, friends, and God. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So happy to be alive!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":18801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[52,595],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18941"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
