Welcome!

That’s me, reaching out to you, saying “I’m so glad you’re here.”
Welcome to Hales to the Yes You can. Who is Hales? I is Hales– short for Haley.
I’m a teacher, a writer, a San Francisco Native, and a fierce optimist.
As I like to tell my first grade students (whom you will forever hear me refer to as “my kiddos,”) None of us know about everything, but we do know a lot about some things. And I happen to love to write about those some things. I’m fortunate to have lived a lot of life, met beautiful courageous souls, been on some wilds adventures, have an affinity for overanalyzing, and have picked up some quality inspiration along the way. This blog is me sharing a window into a mind that loves traversing the earth and seeing what surprises or insights may lie around the corner. If something resonates with you, send me a message! Few things bring me greater pleasure than connecting with people and swapping ideas. Now that you’ve found my website, consider me as “someone who’s in your corner.” Someone who fiercely believes in you. Someone who says “Hales to the YES you can”
