Great perspective. Tabula Rasa was an integral part of my philosophy of education program. Well done in using it to start each new school year.

Tom :

Really nicely described clean slate tranquility to reflect on during our challenging days and the mayhem that invades our minds on the internet and nightly TV News Programs and reality family issues. 🙏🙏🙏🌞☀️💕✌️

Ooh! I really liked this article. The before-and-after of your backyard really provided some great bookends for the piece. Just a shame you didn't show your new rock wall. I heard it's pretty great.

This is a good reflection to start the new school year. One reason I never ask previous teachers about my student lists as we start the year is because of tabula Rosa. Thanks for the reminder!

I did as well. As the sabbatical comes to a close, it was like you wrote this for me. Thanks brother.
