Eye to Wonder

Kind of impulsively, I've decided to attempt NaBloPoMo after about 3 years of not blogging. Lately I've been drawn to the idea of writing more, and I definitely benefit from the outer accountability of a challenge. I think posting every day for a month, even briefly, might help me build a more regular habit of blogging and just writing more generally. So to kick things off, I thought I'd introduce myself, why I stopped writing, and why I'd like to change that. I'm Sam. I live with my family of 4 in San Diego. We moved here 3 years ago from Colorado,and I absolutely love it here. I grew up on the Central Coast, so moving here has felt like moving to the big city version of where I grew up. I live with my two daughters, A (6) and M(2) and my husband (J). I taught for 9 years, but am currently staying home while my youngest is small. I both really miss teaching/working, and also love that right now there is more margin in our lives and I get a lot of time to spend...
