Revelation


I know it has been a very, very, very long time since I last posted a blog, but sue me I was healing for criminy sake. In any case I have now found something in my life that is actually worth writing about.


I realized that I usually use my blog to share my confusion and complain about my horrible jobs that I keep getting myself into, but not this time. Okay maybe for that one second smart ass. Annnnywho.


I am going to give a little background on my life revelation. I was invited to share in the picture party that my mother had with her latest group of trip companions. For those of you who know my mother you know that she is ALWAYS going on a trip somewhere in the world. Am I hating? YES!! But that is for another blog. So I am sitting at my grandmothers house surrounded by women who are educated, driven, successful, determined and community minded. Did I feel a little out of place well, yeah kind of, but again that is for another blog. So as I am talking to this varied group of women a revelation comes to me. I never understood fully those moments when people say that they were spoken to by a higher power until right then. It is true!! I was told to open an all girls boarding school.


Now, I know that it seems anti-climatic, but just listen. Having worked in education on and off for 10 years I have seen many things. Especially when it comes to our young women. I have seen bright, excited, driven and self motivated girls turn into depressed, dumbed down, unenthusiastice, boy crazy and docile teenagers. I couldn't for the life of me understand the disconnect. So I thought well, maybe if I work with these girls in High School I will make a difference, well it kind of worked, but it did not garner the results that I am looking for. So as I am learning from these ladies I have my revelation and it begins to spill out of me like an overflowing toilet. I had curriculum, teachers, classes, how I wanted the entire thing to look and then I said well heck might as well get started. So I am claiming it and putting it out there for all to see. Ms. Denva is going to be the headmistress of a boarding school.


This has been a long time coming as I look back at my school career as well as my working resume. All of the things that I have done in my life up to this point have prepared me for this pivotal moment. This is my time and I am now ready to begin my career.


Just thought I would share.


Ms. Denva.

They are so coming to fruition. This should be a very interesting process, so when you are ready to leave hotlanta and move home. There is a job for you waiting? You know you love middle schoolers. LOL.
