Hello 49!

I know I have been sporadic with blog posting lately but that is a good thing, I have been feeling pretty well a bit fatigued but that is my new normal.

Brooke Shields recently spoke in an interview about the importance of reintroducing yourself throughout life so people understand who you are today rather the person they remember you to be. This really struck me so here it goes....

          

Hello, I am Dr. Tara Orlowski. My passion in life comes from teaching and mentoring. I love learning, books, and board games. I am the mom to three beautiful and friendly cats. In 2020, my dreams shifted but not away from my core but more I am reaching it differently these days. Currently, my brain is fully functional but body does not agree. It is hard for me to walk long distances, stand for long periods of time, or sit up straight all day. I get short of breath upon exertion. I am more reserved in my outside of work commitments to protect myself from burnout. I have learned their are limits to energy level but everyday I try my best. Normal Lear once said, "Every day is a new production." I am thankful for what I get to produce each day I am granted. Even though my path changed, my new path affords me the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my mom and I feel blessed. 

Today, Mom and I went to went to see Fly Me to the Moon. It made me think that we have had few positive events where the nation or the world watch with anticipation, which are not born out of tragedy in the last 49 years I have been alive. While I will take any opportunity to bring people together to celebrate, I would like to live in a world with more positives than negatives. So I challenge everyone to think about this: Since 1975, can you think of a national or global positive event that we have rallied together to watch, like moon landing in 1969 that did not begin out of tragedy?

For tonight . . . I'm just sayin' XOXO
