“As both a teacher and writer, freewriting is a practice that helps me process and understand my role within the life I live with children. Whenever I feel most stuck, I write. Not for this blog. Not for my job. But as a way to get clarity about I’m doing, feeling, and knowing deep inside. And while freewriting is a tool I discovered in my life as a creative, freewriting is not just for “Writers.” Freewriting is an accessible  way of mindfully checking in with yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings…to put it simply: You just write. By Hand. For a while. “
