Welcome. This blog fosters slowing down, being more reflective, and learning together about family life, schooling, health, and community. I embrace ambiguity, I’m skeptical of a lot of conventional wisdom, and often get things wrong.

I tend to post twice weekly.

The readership is a hodgepodge of educators, fitness enthusiasts, and ordinary people slowing down, being more reflective, and thinking together about what makes life most meaningful.
