Today’s Tip # 1 — WHY, why, why

It’s been a while since I posted here at Medium.com. I’ve missed doing that. So, I’m back!

Where have I been writing? Over the last year or so, I’ve written weekly posts — actually, three sets of Tips, called Tuesday Tips — that I’ve shared with my email audience. Each set had 13 entries. So far, that’s 39 Tips!

Now, I’d like to share them here at Medium.com, because many people have asked for them — to enjoy and hopefully, even benefit from them. I’ll start with the last set.

These Tips are made up of vignettes –short, very short stories — that I’ve gathered over the years . I write them down whenever I can. Why? Because I believe they may bring some wisdom, a smile, common sense reality, a path forward — in our challenging education world — actually, in our challenging lives themselves. These gems come from my clients, colleagues, famous people whom I don’t know personally, relatives, places, passers-by, anyone and anywhere. You get the picture. We all have stories — and, often, wisdom. I do believe that these stories of common sense, wisdom, and mantras can help us create a path forward to improve schools for all students — which is always the goal — and even enrich our lives.

For me, these little stories are a treasure trove. I’m delighted to share them with you here.
