Catch Up

The last year or so of my life has been so BUSY.  I became engaged, planned a wedding, finished my senior year of college, worked full time, applied for teaching jobs, got hired, got married... Needless to say I didn't have a lot of time to breathe.  But even before that I was always BUSY.  Work and school consumed my life.  Then, June 12.  Everything came to a screeching halt.  No school, a couple of days of work, no wedding planning.  I have time to breathe.  And the thing is, I don't like it.  So I'm looking to try some new things that I didn't have time for before.  I want to move away, I want something different, I want to take ballet, I want to go back to school, I want to learn to sail, I want to take pottery classes.  Hence the title of my blog. I think I'm gonna try just a little of everything.

Another big thing on my mind is how to find grants to build an eco-friendly school.  I have some dreams that I want to realize, and this is one of them. This is the first time I've put this idea out there.  I'm struggling to find information to make it a reality, and it is super frustrating.  I picked up a pretty awesome book called Prefabulous and Sustainable by Sheri Koones and it has really inspired me to learn towards a more sustainable life.  Anyone else out there trying to be sustainable?
