Back again. Just riffing a bit. Set to The Lumineers' "Salt And The Sea" on repeat. Excellent tune by an excellent band.
Still trying to strike the right balance with my writing in this space. I know what my writing was when they were letters to the community. I enjoyed that. Relished it. It was also a lift and I was finding it hard to live up to, if that makes sense. It was also becoming too much of me. My voice got too loud. Cult of personality-ish. Yuck.
So, a blog. Where my voice is my voice ... to a point. Certainly, I think, a place to be me and let you know the why. Everything goes back to the why. Educators don't talk about the why enough. Maybe not at all. Often it is what it is because we said so. And maybe that is why we find ourselves at this point. Just thinking out loud over here.
Be patient, I guess. It took a minute for me to find my rhythm in my letters to you. It will take a minute, or two, for me to find my rhythm here. And I will. I want to enjoy it. I want to relish it. I do not want it to be a lift. I do not want my voice to be too loud.
Just me being me. Talking about the why. It's not because I said so.
Lumineers coming in concert. Pre sale tix available now. State farm end of August... Thought you might be interested!
I am confused. You posted on Instagram that you were taking a social media break, and did a big, grandiose exit. Then the next day, you were back online on both Instagram and Facebook, posting as though you weren’t looking for people to beg you to stay. But yet, they were, and you ate it up.
You posted last week that you deleted your blog, and again, here it is. It seems like you really crave the social media attention. That seems sort of problematic as a principal. You need to stop trying to act as though you’re a social media influencer and instead focus on what is going on with your teachers and students.
