Hello dear ones, I am going to take a break from social media for a while. A sort of elimination diet for my soul as I step into a new way of teaching and living. This season of life has been unexpected and challenging for all of us, and I have found solidarity in this space, but it’s time to go inward and find peace. ❤️ I am sending you all healing and love on your own journeys and will see you soon.
With love, Stacy

Thank you to everyone who reached out in so many ways to offer support after my last post. ❤️ Today was a much better day and I even got some doggy snuggles + therapy sess with , plus time in nature on my paddle board getting lost in a book. ✨

I don’t know if you could tell from my melodramatic stories yesterday, but it was a really rough day. I went back to work in a new classroom, a new grade level, a new team, a new way of planning to start the beginning of the year COVID style, and I lost my s**t. I’m fragile, we all are, and I was just not prepared for the emotions I would feel starting this year. It didn’t help that I fell off of a table while hanging decorations and jammed my fingers into a bookshelf 🥴.
I thought I’d call my sister and ask for some help setting things up ( she’s a master with the stapler), but you know that moment you hear a safe voice of a close friend or family member? Ya, I hysterically ugly cried and she dropped what she was doing and came to my rescue. 😭❤️
I tell people to trust in Divine timing and wasn’t able to do that yesterday. Today, I was surprisingly moved to 2nd grade, I will be teaching Henry and Sawyer which will make teaching/ parenting during distance learning so much easier, and I will likely have some kiddos I taught last year in my class. ❤️ I was gifted a silver lining that I couldn’t have expected. Right after I found out, my sister and Savy showed up and brought me a care package with things to bring me joy. 😭 You guys, I’m an emotional mess. Im scared and anxious about everything and struggling to figure out all of the details, but I’m grateful for family, friends and crazy Divine timing. ✨
Sending a HUGE hug to all of the educators, teachers, students and family members who answer hysterical phone calls from the teachers in their life! We are a village. We can do hard things. We can do this ❤️

Charley says to “ VOTE”. Preferably for humans who are kind, believe in science, care about Black lives, and don’t make a mockery of our country- just as a start ✌🏼

“ Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature.”

Welcome home, Charley. ❤️ We’ve been waiting for the right pup to join our family, and when I saw his face pop up as an available rescue nearby, I knew right away he was ours. We adopted this sweet guy yesterday and it feels like he’s been with us all along. Thanks for these first photos of our guy! ✨ @ Bend, Oregon

Soaking up the last bits of rosè season before I cozy up into fall. 🖤 I had a rare girls evening with my sister tonight where we treated ourselves to a fabulous dinner before settling in to some vision/dream boarding. I love a good moon ritual, and tonights new moon in Leo is a perfect time to honor the things we have gone through and set new intentions and goals for ourselves. Things feel pretty heavy and a little crazy right now, it was a lovely way to get out of my head and into my heart space. ✨ Take care of yourselves out there. And do something that gives you life right now in the midst of all of this. 📷:
