This spot is magical and dramatic no matter when we come, though each picture seems to represent the other's time of year. Left photo: 3/9/19 Right photo: 1/5/19 Take me back to January? Words that seem foreign on my tongue. I went into nature to feel a sense of homecoming, but instead I felt a little unwelcome. I don't blame nature. I probably don't need to blame anyone, but all this NO, STOP, DON'T really put my hackles up. Two reasons come to mind: 1. One of the most game-changing lessons I've learned in my time as an educator is to explain why. Limits are often reasonable but when their only justification is because authority said so, the limits just feel like the flexing of someone on a power trip. 2. I love big ideas and I've grown weary of the auto-response of NO, STOP, DON'T, HERE'S WHY IT WON'T WORK. It's so common that I've started introducing new ideas by saying, "I'd like you to consider why and how this could work instead of why and how it won't." Getting to the point: Question limits put in front of you. Maybe there's a good reason, maybe you're dealing with a despot, or maybe you're a visionary. #yesyoucan #askhow #askwhy Ok, you say it's a commercialized holiday designed to profit from saps and schmucks. So don't spread love for the money makers, do it for the people who need love. By the way, that's everyone. You, too. Me, three. Side note, the above-mentioned ideas are free. #leadwithlove
