central valley superintendent dr. rich hughes was named outstanding superintendent of the year by the new york state association for computing and technologies in education. we first met rich through the lela fellowship and have been delighted to continue to support him in designing and implementing personalized learning since then. and we have to agree - he is outstanding!

sometimes i wish i were more like my mom. there are many reasons why, but many times it’s because i wish i were a great cook. i used to watch her in the kitchen just glance at a picture of a dish from a cookbook, then create that without ever having to follow the step-by-step recipe that was next to the picture. it was like watching a magic show.

lately i have been meditating. it is only somewhat by choice – we are doing a company-wide meditation challenge and i am usually up for competitions, especially when they get me out of my comfort zone. within the course of a few days of the challenge i discovered that just sitting and breathing doesn’t work for me – i have one of those brains that doesn’t turn off. it is not always full of important things, thoughts range from how to support a certain school to what i should get at the grocery store to if it’s going to be hot or cold tomorrow but you get the point, focus can be a challenge. so i started to do themed meditations and have recently been enjoying seven days of focusing on gratitude. because while december may be the season of giving, november is the season of being grateful.
