Writing “On Leading” a few days ago, I realized how much I miss writing. There is a much longer post in the works about life right now, along with a billion posts I need to do for both TeacherPop and Pass The Chalk. Not to mention posts I need to be getting up for TFA-Ohana (TFA Hawai’i’s new tumblr!) and DCT. #ohmyGodwriting
Still, I’ve made a few decisions about some things I’d like to commit to in the month leading up to my quarter-century-birthday, and I thought I’d get it down on digital paper:
- Dive deep into my work. [clearly this will go past my birthday]I am, now more than ever, devoted to Teach For America’s mission and work in edreform. Time to jump in and dream big.
- Go gluten-free. This is a trial run, but my body has been feeling blahhhh for quite a bit. Time to try something new (and a little radical). I’ve been doing some reading and discussion with my good friend, Darin, about going sans-gluten. Time to give it a shot.
- 2 Drinks a Night. I make less-than-awesome choices when I drink. Drinking is also empty calories. Time to get real about feeling healthy.
- “Remember what it felt like to be respected and communicated with, and hold on to that when times are hard.“ Direct quote from friend/colleague Anika. Definitely something to hold onto for life.
Alright, /CT
