The BOLD (How Much?) Are you learning what you set out to learn or are you learning all there is to learn? The Whisper (That Much, eh?) The bus pulled up in the bus loop facing the shiny aquarium and Mr. Berkshire signaled to the students in an attempt to focus their buzzing excitement on …
THE BOLD: (Breakdown Ahead) A breakdown is an interruption of your patterns, habits or expectations. Sometimes they come unbidden. Sometimes we provoke them ourselves. While they can be disruptive, they invite renovation, reformation, and renewal. Our choices are limited but powerful in the face of breakdowns—we can choose a project before an accident happens, we …
