I've always been a thinker, just sometimes not a coherent one. There are lots of things I wonder about and sometimes it gets me in trouble. More than occasionally, I impulsively say or write what's on my mind. Teaching chose me. I say chose me because I believe it is a calling. Things that are important to me are individuality, integrity, compassion, justice and truth. Those are just a few. I am passionate about the people I love and I am stimulated by ideas. I hope to use this blog to explore ideas and stimulate conversation. Welcome to the world inside my head. Sometimes it is a scary place.
