I started a new chapter of life today..................................

I am saddened to be writing this next line and tears stream down face as they have all day long....I was told today that I will no longer be at Stony Point. I have been "reassigned" to East Alexander Middle School.

You know me well enough by now to know that the only way I process my emotions is through this blog...so here it goes.....

I am so sad to be leaving behind my Bryson and the daily memories I will be missing out on (insert MANY tears here)......
I am so sad to be leaving kids that I have watched grow for 6 years of my career....
I am so sad to be leaving a staff that I love as my own family.....
I am so sad to be leaving behind a school that I love more than any school I have ever stepped foot in.....
I am so sad to be leaving the familiar for the unknown.....

I like to have control of my life and in this situation I feel as if I have lost complete control which is probably the part that saddens me the most.....

I know that there so many worse things in life....and I in no way want to discount those that are in such greater need than me.....

I am so thankful to everyone that listened to me cry today and supported me today...and all the sweet comments, texts and messages do mean a lot.....I just really wish this wasn't the way to start Summer break......

In the end I will overcome this and it will become clear (ONE day) why this happened...

I am so thankful for the journey I have traveled at SP and every person and child I have crossed paths with, will only make me a better person in the end!

Here are some positives:

I am happy for a new challenge....
I am happy for new faces.....
I am happy to reconnect with old friends and past students.....
I am happy that it is summer and by August I will be stronger than this day.....

As Brooks said with every job doesn't always come compassion and this is very true...but I will be the strong one in the end!

I have prayed really hard for the past few days because my gut (which is normally right) told me this was coming, I just wish I didn't feel so blindsided......MOVING ON!!!

I can't say thanks enough nor can I list each of you that have been on my side today.....but know I love and appreciate each of you!!!!!!!!!!

I will continue to SHIINE because that's what I have been taught to do at SP!

Much love to you all.......HAPPY SUMMER, Alysha

i am changed.....

  covid changed me, you read that right. that's when i changed. i changed my outlook, i changed our routines, i changed our home! i changed a lot of things because it changed me and somehow makes me see the tragedy that occurred in the state of NC last week differently. there is perhaps a little bit of aging in my outlook too, don't get me wrong, but i am forever a different person as the years pass. i am not the same as i was last year and i won't be the same next year, i am certain. but it's these types of life changing events that make you sit up and realize. it. could. all. be. gone. tomorrow. and if you don't realize that, search asheville, boone, saluda NC….they are proof. the things we get up everyday to do on our to do lists, they don't necessarily matter. yes, i am a firm believer in a purpose, when my feet hit the ground every morning i go through my to-do list in my head, BUT it could change any minute of any day and we have to know what is important ...

post 5 of 6-----vision board progress!

post 5 of 6 for my 2023 vision board... i'm a tad behind which really annoys my OCD. the week didn't go as i had intended and i ended up sick which is not a norm for me, so i have struggled to recover and accomplish things that should have already been accomplished.  in this post i wanted to share my progress on my 2023 vision board.  my word of the year was intentional-i absolutely feel like i lived up to this word. i have caught myself on many occasions seeing that word in the middle of my board and bringing me back to being intentional! i have tried to leave things better than i found them, i have lived in the moment and worked hard at making things intentional.  grounding-i have failed on this one....it has been harder than i thought it would be, but grounding is something that i feel like i can mentally carryover and continue to work on.  travel-in my book we have accomplished this. brooks and i traveled to mexico. we have made several little trips-snowboarding,...

a coach’s wife.

 post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year.  this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet.  i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s  wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...
