Books: Running the World, by Nick Butter. First person to run a marathon in every country in the world. Absolutely incredible. (Not the writing skills, but the feat and scope of his accomplishments!!)
Thing: My family watched a quick documentary about Courtney Dewaulter running a 200 mile race in Tahoe. My oldest was so inspired that he is now in the midst of running 200 laps around our house before the 4th of July. We have a chart for his progress and everything! Seeing his drive, maturity, and dedication is inspiring to me.
Love, love, love this photo of you and the story behind it, and also that stunning review of Pillars! Thanks for the links too, I've got them all queued up and am looking forward to reading/watching them. And I of course too loved ISD's end-of-year celebration :). One of my good things this past week was engaging in conversation with a head teacher-assistant teacher pair from our school about their reflections on the past school year, and looking ahead to the next school year working together again. They have worked through lots of initial confusion and misunderstanding based largely on cultural differences to form a strong team, and it was really beautiful and powerful to hear them both openly discuss this process and be able to celebrate their (our, really, as I have learned a lot from their experiences as well in my role as their supervisor) growth and learning.
Haha love the baby goat pic! My good news is also animal related. As the process to foster children drags on longer than anticipated, we decided to start fostering cats! We picked up Spock this morning, and it's been fun getting to know him :)
Thanks. I put a hold on the Suleika Jaouad ebook at the US library I have access to. I'm 21st in line to get it. (And I'm a fellow cancer surviver.)
Two quick good things to add:
