Happy Anniversary Chalkboard Memoirs!

I can't believe it's been six years (!) since I started this blog...


Back in 2014, I decided to step outside my comfort zone, go for it and write and share!

It all started when I mentioned to some friends this idea of starting a blog. And like great supportive friends they told me, "Do it." So I did! Best thing ever.

If these last few months have taught me anything, it's that life is fragile. We really have this one life to live. We have to really live it. And make each day, each experience, each human encounter...really count.

So as I reflect and look back at these six years, I'm reminded that family is everything, that it's important to maintain friendships, and that each day is a new opportunity to learn and grow and be a better wife, mother, teacher, sister, friend and human being than the day before.

So...to celebrate six years, I'm looking back at these special posts -
