This is me. This is who I am. I am honest, sometimes to a fault. I am a realist, and I try very very hard (on a daily basis) to understand that there are just some things that I cannot control. From a very early age, I learned that life isn’t fair, you don’t always get what you want, and that people die too soon. Unfortunately, tragedies came to my family all too often and it was diffi...

So as I’ve mentioned before in previous posts, I work part time as a vet tech, that’s a veterinary technician! (Just in case someone wasn’t sure) I, believe it or not, LOVE my job!! How many people do you know that can honestly say the same?! I have worked within this particular profession for almost 7 years now, at the same animal hospital. Currently I only work 1-2 days a week,...

The last few weeks have been very difficult.. my mama’s boy, my baby dog, my shadow, my lil’ Butchie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The day before Easter of 2014 he had an episode, not quite a seizure but more serious than his typical dramatic exhausted collapse, you see Butchie was my drama queen/little clown. Of course, we were out of town on vacation and he seemed to bounce right...

Often times, we tell ourselves that it didn’t happen and that they are just on a very long vacation…a vacation that they will never return from. We can never tell ourselves that we will never see them again because we cannot believe that its true. When someone ...

How often are people true to who they really are? Social media glamorizes life in a way that seeks perfection and doesn’t allow for those not-so-magical moments of life to shine through. At WIRL Project, we’re ready for a change and we agree with Jamie Catto, who wrote an incredible post called “Real Is the New Sexy” on his blog. We, at WIRL Project, think what he has to sa...

Strangely, I feel like one of the most comforting things about becoming a parent is when I started to understand that it’s normal to be…well…uncomfortable. There’s a sense of bizarre security that comes with the realization that no one – no one! – has all the answers, and we’re all sort of flying by the seats of our yoga pants. I think it’s only when we em...

I like to think of myself as a very positive person, however I have a very bad habit that I have recently discovered as pointed out by my wife. Apparently, I have a regular tendency to convey my negative displeasure toward a situation, item or nature of the environment in the present. Simply put: I bitch a lot. Since my wife so delicately pointed this out to me several months ago, I have been ca...

As an American Government teacher, I spend a significant amount of time with my students at the beginning of each semester teaching the six principles of the United States Constitution. The thorough overview of each principle is intended to build a strong foundation for their understanding of our government and its complexities. Two of the six principles are Checks and Balances and Separation of...
