I went to university in Boston. Driving from New York meant going over at least one giant bridge. Each time I hit that bridge, I’d notice something shift. My fingers clenched, my shoulders tightened, I hugged the divider, and focused hard on following those in front of me in order to make it to the other side. A few minutes after crossing, the color returned to my fingers and my whole body exhaled. Regardless of the season, state of the roads, or precipitation from the sky, crossing that bridge was often the most nerve-wracking part of that drive.

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

A shooting star, the first snowflake, a rainbow after a storm, a child’s laughter, an act of kindness, the innocent check-in of a furry red muppet—inspiration is everywhere if only we pause a moment to look. 

It’s in that awe when we witness a magical moment, the wonder experienced through curious questioning, the joy of a quokka’s quizzical smile, and so much more. When we open our eyes, it’s everywhere…can you see it?

How to Make the Most of Your Sabbatical

Teaching is hard work—physically, intellectually, emotionally. In the past, when teachers had the opportunity to earn tenure, many educational institutions permitted their teachers to take sabbaticals, which are extended break periods during which teachers could rest, reflect and otherwise recuperate from their difficult work. If you feel that you are on the verge of burnout, you might award yourself your own sabbatical, giving yourself several months or perhaps years away from the classroom.
