Feb. Monthly Word Project ~ RE-Order

Well it's that time again to share what Catherine & I have created to go with the word we chose for Feb. My word was RE~order and here's some background why I decided on this word. I just retired after 40 years of teaching...I went right from college into a teaching position and never took any time off. Even with the birth of my daughter I went back to work after 9 weeks. This is what many women did in the teaching field back in the day...I knew that I could lose the school I was teaching at or even worse no have a job to come back to. 

 The day I retired in June 2012 I had this grand plan that after a month everything that needed attending to would be done...lol...joke was on me!!! It became clear that this wasn't going to happen anytime soon. So after giving myself permission I have slowly started the process. RE~order is about getting my life in order...my life, my house, my health, my finances, my relationships and finding my true direction in this industry.

 Here is my journal pages expressing this.
