Published

I finally hit, “publish” and who knew how extremely terrifying & thrilling it would feel all at once. I started working on this site over the summer and with each passing week I kept telling myself just publish the page.

I always had a reason to avoid this final step. The imagery wasn’t good enough, I didn’t have enough content, or my true authentic self wouldn’t show through. There was also the technical learning curve of linking each page to the next, did I like the flow, would my viewer be able to navigate with ease?

Then came the doubt. Do I put an address? Does it even matter if no one ever finds their way here, am I not legit since I do not consider myself to be a content creator?

What I realized today at almost 1am is that there is never a perfect landing but there are a few steps one can take to ensure you stick the best landing possible. My reason for being here is not to be web developer or content creator.

My reason-my why is to share my professional career journey in hopes it one day helps another fellow educator looking to pivot or anyone who is longing for that career passion but cannot find it in their current industry. My hope is that by openly sharing my journey I am able to spark some bravery in others to pursue their passion. I didn’t have all the answers when I hit, “publish” tonight. I certainly don’t think I will find them all here or even days, weeks later.

What I do know is this, in order to discover the next chapter I had to close the old one. The old chapter for me was leaving this page in edit mode for more than 3 months. The new chapter in this story was hitting post and seeing how things evolve from here.

This post will not be my last. Only the first one to ever be created under, “live page mode” and I intended to keep unraveling this self journey to see where I end up!
