My name is Mandy. I am a 43 year old principal in Southern California. Much of my life is dedicated to serving those that I love- my family, staff and students. In my quest for serving others, sometimes I have forgotten to take care of myself. In September 2019, I realized in order to better care for others I needed to start taking care of me. This blog with chronicle my story, which might be similar to your story! I am hoping by reading this, YOU, my dear servant leaders will see that it is okay to prioritize yourself and will help you in caring for others.
My husband and I have been together for 13 years. He is my biggest cheerleader. Whenever I decide to take on a new endeavor, he is the first to tell me I can do it!
My Boys…as a young child I loved The Dukes of Hazzard, who knew that I would have my very own Bo and Luke Duke! My boys are my heart and I love seeing the world through their eyes.
Just like many of you, our fur babies are something that fill out hearts. Rocky- my bully is a very active pup, I am not sure that he realizes that he is a bulldog! Sadie, my Viszla, stares into my soul. I think if Sadie could, she would crawl in my skin like Luke Skywalker did to the Ton Ton!
Healthy Principal Bell 
Mandy, first I would like to express that your blog idea is inspirational. As a busy individual that many people depend on, we will hesitate taking care of ourselves. You have given me the inspiration I need to take better care of me. Thanks and I look forward to following your blog.
