Have you ever wanted to do something so badly, but kept second-guessing yourself? That’s exactly how I felt about starting this blog. I’ve wanted to get back into blogging for a while, but I kept putting it off because of the cost. When I wrote my previous blog, I posted about once a month—but eventually, for reasons I can’t quite explain, I stopped. Now, I’m returning to blogging with a new purpose. I’ve been seriously considering starting my own business, and this blog is the first step. My goal is to create a resource for anyone navigating the uncertainty of the education world—whether in special education or general education. I’m here to be your support, your advocate, and your ally.

I don’t know where this blog will take me—or if it will even take off. The last one certainly didn’t. But here I am again, taking a risk, finally putting myself first, and thinking about what I want.

For as long as I can remember, it’s been a dream of mine to open my own educational firm. A space where families and students feel truly seen, heard, and supported in their learning journeys. But lately, that dream has started to feel out of reach.

Pursuing it would mean flipping my schedule upside down, and that would come at the cost of spending less time with my daughter. The time we have together now is something I deeply value—it’s non-negotiable. I’ve done some research, crunched the numbers, and honestly, the picture doesn’t look promising. I feel stuck. At a loss. In a bit of a rut.

Is this dream just a dream? Will it ever become my reality?

I don’t have the answers right now. But what I do have is this blog—a place to start. A place to share, reflect, and maybe even build something that bridges my passion with my life as it is now.

So here I am, kickstarting a dream. Hoping, believing, and taking that first step toward turning it into reality.
