WaldenWorks: Yes, but... Cynoptimist
171 posts
I am passionate about connecting people with technological tools to drive systems change and improve outcomes for students, educators, and creator communities. Additionally, I express my creativity and passion through singing and songwriting, and have released several albums and singles as an independent artist.

I took a leap (more like a limp) off the daily hamster wheel of full-time work to rediscover my "why". In the process, I'm resurrecting this blog to remember what it was like to hit "Post" on behalf of myself and not an organization. To remember what it feels like to be an individual without having to sublimate my thoughts and feelings. I have hope and I have help and I hope help has mercy on my foolishly optimistic heart.

Watched the History of The Eagles documentary last night and came away with a huge crush on Joe Walsh, new love for their music--band and solo, and this cover of Take It Easy. RIP Glenn Frey.

Nonexistent, impossible, imaginary objects are in our thoughts all the time, but in art they move from the inside to the outside, words and images cross the border.

Google really lubricates that access to information and while that is fantastic, it makes us have to change a bit the way we think about things,” Heick says. “Because we’re so busy, we have this false security that we understand something because we Googled it. Now we’re moving on to the next thing instead of really rolling around with this idea and trying to understand it.
