Welcome to Skies of Blue!

Hello, I’m Fran. I’m 47 years old and live in Danbury, Connecticut with my husband, Jason, and our son, Jason. I am a special education teacher in Waterbury, Connecticut, and I have always had a heart for helping others grow, learn, and believe in themselves.

Writing is one of my greatest passions. It has become both an outlet and a calling — a place where reflection meets faith, life lessons meet vulnerability, and ordinary moments become meaningful stories. Through reading, writing, pallet projects, run challenges, and deep, heartfelt conversations, I find joy in connection and creativity.

I am the writer behind skiesofblue.org, where I share pieces of my life’s journey — the growth, the struggles, the faith, the healing, and the beauty found along the way. I truly believe words have power: power to encourage, to comfort, to challenge, and to inspire change.

My blog is dedicated to Blue Sky Behavioral Health, LLC, located in Danbury, Connecticut.

You can learn more about their work at https://blueskyrecovery.com/.

Supporting mental health, healing, and personal transformation is deeply important to me, and I am honored to align this space with a mission that helps others find hope and restoration.

I wake up each morning grateful — excited for life, grounded in faith, and energized by the opportunity to give, to serve, and to create. I love God, I love my family, I love my students and I love building meaningful connections with people.

“Fran” was my childhood nickname, and “Martin” is my maiden name — together, they form the name behind this space: Fran Martin.

Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy reading these blogs as much as I cherish writing them.

With gratitude,
Fran
