Like A Girl

September 8, 2019 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

I am a decisive person. I like to make my decision and stick with it. I'm not much for looking back with regret or wondering about how things might have been different (at least not in an emotional way - sometimes for a thought experiment I think about how my life might be different if … Continue reading Like A Girl

Intentional Love

June 4, 2018June 4, 2018 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

One of my favorite words is "intentional." In fact, it looks like it is my unintentional (hah!) word of the year for 2018. Intentionality is the key to so many good things. Being intentional is the key to being successful, to developing and maintaining good habits, to growing healthy relationships, to becoming a better version … Continue reading Intentional Love

Happy Anniversary, Dominican Republic!

August 13, 2017September 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

Five years ago yesterday I moved to the Dominican Republic. It was four days after ending my first summer with YouthWorks. Wendy and Jenn - women that at the time I had never met but who have become extremely important to me over the past five years - picked me and my two suitcases (just … Continue reading Happy Anniversary, Dominican Republic!

The Desires of My Heart

June 28, 2017September 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday I was in Target and, as one does, I took a stroll through the clearance section at the front of the store. I thought, "I should see if there's anything that would be good for my classroom." Then I thought, "Holy smokes! In two months I'm going to have a classroom again!" This past … Continue reading The Desires of My Heart

Letting go of criticism

March 6, 2016March 6, 2016 ~ Suzanne ~ 2 Comments

At the beginning of 2015 I choose a word to define the year - soften. At the end of the year I did feel softer - in my attitudes, in my words, and in my relationships. And I wanted to keep that flow going. So this year, rather than choose a word, I chose to … Continue reading Letting go of criticism

Weepy Sunday // Domingo llorón

November 15, 2015November 15, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ 2 Comments

Sometimes I get a little weepy in church. Not the kind of weepy everyone can see - I'm pretty good at keeping it together - but the kind of emotional weepy that has me covertly wiping my eyes during worship and quietly sniffling during prayer. I mean, I can't just sing about how powerful the … Continue reading Weepy Sunday // Domingo llorón

Here’s the thing about our consequences

August 31, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

You've probably heard said, "I learned everything I need to know in kindergarten," or something like it. Well, in first grade in addition to teaching my lovelies phonics and addition, I like to think I give a refresher course in "everything I need to know." In first grade we practice sharing and taking turns and putting … Continue reading Here’s the thing about our consequences
