As I begin my summer vacation, I am making a commitment to myself to do a few things that I think will help me to find balance, grow, and to organize my life.  One of the things I have committed to doing is writing each day.  When I was going through school, I always loved writing and it has always been a dream of mine to publish a children's book.  I know as a teacher, that the only way to cultivate or reach this dream is by writing each day, so I am going to try and look for the everyday moments that will make great stories, look at life through a writer's lens, and take the time to write, wether it is poetic, or just an observation, I want to give it the time it deserves.
