I am not sure what happened, but this post was supposed to “POST” last week. I checked my posts and I didn’t see it. But I am excited to get back to writing, blogging, and sharing about the journey that is my life! Yes- I titled this blog “K-Marie- Takes Shanghai” in the spring of 2017 before I left for China – and I did take Shanghai! I took it by storm and really enjoyed living there. I will be honest, living there, through COVID was difficult and challenging and their requirements and restrictions for daily living are tough and intense to say the least! But, I did it and to say the least, I am HELLA DOPE for that.
Well I moved back to the states and my relationship with my blog pretty much became non-existent. I hope to bring some consistency back with it. All I can say is that I am very thankful and happy to be at home with my family, friends – tacos, BBQ, and elote! Life has been a whirlwind since I have been back, but a good twist of it all. The breeze and the winds have been working well in my favor.
You know that Ms. K loves kids, students, school, and being a part of the education system. This year I took a position working on elementary school campuses helping them with their reading/literacy skills. It’s very different from my life as the classroom teacher, but I am really starting to enjoy it so far! One thing I know for sure, the ability to read is life changing. You know, as well as I, that reading is a part of all of our school subjects and our daily living – even if its just being able to read a menu. I am thrilled to be a part of the process to develop reading and literacy skills for young learners.
Never Stop Reading. Never Stop Dreaming. Never Stop Reading. Never Stop Dreaming.
I have said it before and I say it again, thank you for following my journey! I had some really amazing experiences living abroad and I am so happy to share them here. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT REGRET living abroad. I wouldn’t change it for anything and I do plan to share more of my lockdown thoughts so you can have a peek into what it was like (for me) living abroad, in China- Shanghai, China, during COVID.
I want to connect you to a few previous posts that I have done that you may find helpful

Life is going for me. I don’t have a better way to describe it besides- going… but it is an adventure and a rollercoaster if nothing else.
