So, just a few hours remain of 2019. I've been blessed in so many ways:

• Our two daughters are doing well in school and have a strong moral compass. 
• I'm in my 25th year of teaching.
• There are almost 1000 people participating on the "Deed a Day" Facebook group, sharing acts of kindness and inspiring messages daily.
• Our very large puppy, Mazie, just turned a year old.
• I had 2 new teacher books come out, "Go the Extra Smile" and "Be an Amazing Writing Teacher."
• I made the top 10 list of teachers who inspired the Today Show in 2019!

I'm so thankful for my family's health and for God's provision during this past year. What are you thankful for? What are you celebrating from  2019? What are you looking forward to in the year ahead? Did you set any New Year's Resolutions? I share mine in the video below.
​Happy New Year to you all!
