Back at it

Bonjour!

Remember that one time when I said I would update every week?  Ha!

My job can be stressful at times, for example, I presented at six meetings last week when on a more average week I only present at one or two.  I don't live life to work though, and so now that I am a little more settled and comfortable I am making it a goal to be more involved with blogging in 2014.

Short update on life: My New Year's Resolution was to send more snail mail to my friends and family and give more gifts!  I have been living up to it and though I've been late at times I haven't missed a birthday card mailing yet!  For Lent, I gave up meat!  I'm not a huge meat eater but I have a hot wing weakness!!  I was a vegetarian for almost two years when I was 24 and have dabbled with Pescatarianism on and off in the past but givin up meat for Lent is serious to me.  I am very devoted to what I give up as a challenge for self-control.  After Lent I hope to continue with Pescatarianism por vida!

I have started learning French which I am really excited about.  I work at a French Immersion Charter School and have an amazing opportunity to practice French with the teachers who have come here from France.  I also do many classroom observations and can listen in on the lessons to practice my listening skills. I tried Duolingo on my phone but wasn't making much progress and signed up for classes at my local Alliance Francaise.  Just after the first class, reading the language makes so much more sense to me!

In conclusion, I hope that I stand true to my goal of blogging and am able to share my travels both near and far.  I love taking photos and enjoy sharing them with others.

May peace, wisdom, strength and overall good vibes find you this week! Bon Journee!
