Thread of small, sweet, beautiful things or moments or people in 2020: 1/3/20: Had the opportunity to present to student leaders about revisiting their “why”. Incorporated @nathanwpyle comics, @BreneBrown, & of course, my favorite, Mr. Rogers. Talked about how behaviors communicate needs. A small moment of joy for me. ImageImage

Thread of small, sweet, beautiful things or moments or people: 1/5/19: Live band (The Oldfields) at a local Muncie brewery (Guardian) playing a cover of Hozier’s “Work Song.” Amid discussion, our table stops and turns towards the band, entranced by a beautiful voice. Leaning into the moment. In awe.

Here's a thread of progressing musings from the class I teach every week. I hope you'll take this ride with me. Here goes nothing (everything): Class #1: Some familiar faces & some new. Welcome & intros. Nervous fidgeting. Backstory of the class & how it came to be. Syllabus/roadmap of course. Discussion on storytelling (an interview of @shondarhimes). Bold & bright & thought-provoking perspectives on 1st day.
