I try to keep it bottled up, but sometimes I get caught off guard and I make a conversation awkward.

Is this natural? How can you avoid these moments?

Hit my first traffic jam this morning - how do y'all do this?! Thinking about the changes I have to make leaving earlier so I can miss the traffic led me to reflect more on the nature of change and innovation.

Today I reflected on what that's going to mean and look like in my interactions and relationships at school.

I have a commute now! Time to process! Time to reflect!

Sparked by a lunch conversation with a new colleague, I'm reflecting today on the definitions of "urban" and "suburban" education contexts.
