Dreams do come true. It was one of the most magical moments in my life. A room full of hundreds of teachers at the @teacherspayteachers conference in Orlando, Florida a few years back. I was asked to speak to teachers for the first time, and for me - I knew I wanted to make it special. I felt so compelled to teach teachers everything I knew about video. ...so I did. During that session I told my story about how this website saved my life and I don’t say that lightly. I was spiriling from a four year long postpartum depression when @pauledelman and @teacherspayteachers saved my life. This company gave me purpose again. This company gave me passion to teach and share like I had never know. This company gifted me with the ability to teach and impact all over the world. As I told my story I saw this man begin to walk down the aisle. It struck me as odd, but I kept going and expressing my gratitude, determination, and journey. As the man approached me, I recognized him in an instant. It was @pauledelman the creator of @teacherspayteachers and he stretched his arms out for a hug. I’ve never been so speechless in all my life. The man that helped save my life was telling me thank you. It was a feeling of gratitude I’ve never known before. This photograph will always be etched in my mind as a representation of a woman transformed. The journey through depression was long, but ever since that fall night in 2013 when I decided to take a chance on me - nothing has been the same. The world needs you too, teacher. #dreambig #teacherspayteachers #teachallovertheworld #impactallthechildren #teachingonless #iteach #iteachtoo #teacher #ceo #ceoteacher #kaysemorris #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram ...

I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I let it happen again. It’s been over a year and a half since I last spent hours scrolling on Instagram playing the same game I used to play nearly every single day. Ya know the one. The one where you admire everyone’s feed or job and you make yourself feel less than you are. It’s been a looooong time since I have even thought of doing that because my mental game has been on, but something happened in 2020 and I’ve let my mind slip. ...but I’m back. Whew. It takes work guys. It isn’t a quick fix or an instant success to stop comparing yourself. It isn’t something you will always know how to do, but it’s something you can always work on. This book was when I first got a handle on my mind 7 months pregnant a year and a half ago. Napoleon Hill spoke to me in ways I can’t even express in words. One of my favorite quotes ever, “You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” So, today if you get caught in the scroll-a-thon, remember this...you are making your life what you want it to be. #sowhatdoyouchoose #blindersbackon #thisismyshot #thinkandgrowrich #napoleonhill #teachingonless #iteach #iteachtoo #teacher #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram ...

My entire life I’ve told people I was an extrovert. Why? Because I love people and I’ve never met a stranger. As I’ve gotten older though, I’ve realized that isn’t really who I am. Extroverts get their energy from other people. People recharge their batteries. They are the life of the party. Well, the truth is ...that’s not me. I may be a social butterfly on Instagram, but I get back to myself when I’m at home in my quiet time. I work by myself in an office and barely talk to humans all day. It’s amazing. 🤣 When people said they were an “introverted extrovert” I used to roll my eyes ... but now ... I get it. Boarding our flight back home and rushing to tackle these little tuffins where I can be alone and not talk to anyone, except them.🤣 #introvertsunite #justkidding #iwillunitealone #introvertedextravert #boymom #boymomlife #teachersofinstagram #teacher #teach #iteach #iteachtoo #teacherspayteachers #cushmanhauler ...
