It might be "better to burn out than to fade away", but that doesn't mean we have to live fast and die young. It's all about burning as brightly as we can for whatever time we have.

I'm doing a video and audio series for Ernest from Earth.

I'll also take everyone through the curriculum guide I created for the book and tell some behind-the-scenes stories about the writing process.

The book focuses on social issues and social-emotional learning. It's a story of the pursuit of empathy.

The video and audio will be available through all my regular media outlets.

I’m a lucky man. Every day, I wake up and do what I love. I’m a father first. Then, I’m a teacher and a coach. I work in a small school district. Most of my students walk into my room for the first time in sixth grade. I work with most of them in some capacity until they graduate. We talk about a lot of things in our classroom. As the seniors prepare to turn the page on this chapter of life, I want to take the opportunity to offer up one more lesson.

"The Process"

It's easy to get caught up in outcomes, but we don't have total control over how things wind up. All we can do is focus on the process.

"Dots"

Pointillism is a method of painting that creates and image through a series of dots. Life works pretty much the same way.
