Wonderful to see everyone! Mini-reflection on art & literature below.. 

Being exposes to Art, and Literature, at such a formative age, and in such a beautiful way, hands down, saved (the quality of) my life. I hope that every student, regardless of resources, geography, or demographic, has an opportunity to have that kind of whole-child education @lajollacountryday

Kickin’ it old-skool, with a non-Instagram-ed photo! 

After 8 solid hours of studying, I went on a run & reflected: For me, there’s simply nothing that beats getting my work done at a level of quality I feel comfortable with. Nothing. Regardless of outcome, regardless of reward, that feeling of “Yes, I did my best. Yes, I did my work, completely. Yes, I’m following my path.”........ I certainly don’t always feel it, but when I do it’s oh-so-sweet-and-special 🍬

And part of the curriculum I’m studying suggests really taking these moments & feelings of “success” in, so as to counter the brains inherent negativity bias. So, I will 😊

Yay for getting 

Good. 

Work.
