The thinks I think tend to be about education, learning, raising young humans, psychology, dance & the arts, technology, and whatever else I fall in love with along the way!

The person you love is not the same as they were when you first started loving them and they are not the same as they will be when you die. Love must be adaptive. Love must be smart enough and strong enough to survive constant change. Love must not be rigid.

Love isn’t a feeling. Love is a choice. And it needs to be made every. Single. Day.

Hamilton Help Please!

Recommend, please, your favorite starter texts (or other resources)!? Looking for ways to learn from these inspirational Founding Humans in the quickest, least cumbersome way (for now). 

Context: Starting NotaSchool (see: Not-a-Box) and the Hamilton soundtrack has shaped a lot of my thinking. I’d like to peruse collections of quotes, short stories, primary sources, concise biographies, or really anything else my lovely tumblr pals might suggest. Essentially looking to learn more from their stories of strength, innovation, success, failure, creativity from constraint, leadership... and how they shaped each others’ stories (teamwork, relationships, working with family and friends even though their work roles held rank...).

4 yrs ago 4th graders taught me about life, Chromebooks, SAMR, personalized learning, and what happens when you unleash kid voices on a district PD event one Saturday in Nov. Today I got a video of 5th graders explaining their learning process, from "We want to sew" all the way to "a YouTube video, a book about sewing, a machine manual..oh and this is the foot and that's the bobbin..." in part, because I helped some cool kids build a wicked fun Makerspace/STEAM Lab, flexible classroom... #YouMatter #DontForget #PayItForward #Gratitudes

9 hrs, 10 flight status changes, 1 cancellation, 1/2 a refund, 1 bus ride, 2 Venti Starbs, 1 National rental car later & we're headed home! Not the adventure we wanted, but super thankful it's with @browse007x #buhbyeVegas #fuSpiritAirlines #bffbonding (at Las Vegas, Nevada)

Heading home with determination to keep putting one foot in front of the other, let go of what I cannot control, show the ones I love how much I appreciate them, and invest in things that bring us laughter, joy, and happy moments. #Let'sDoThis #Grateful
