Creed – 1 step, 1 punch, 1 round

On March 14, 2016 By Sara HolmIn connections, educational leadership, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Last week, Zack had a hematology appointment in Reno and we went for a sushi lunch afterward. Out of all the sushi restaurants in Reno (there are a lot) and the 4 chefs behind the bar, we were seated in front of the dad of a kindergartener I taught in 2005. He recognized me a …

As is the case so often with this whole blogging thing, the first inspiration for this came from the blessing that is my LeadUp chat friends. Although I only know one of them in real, northern NV life, they are all my friends and supporters in real, twitter and voxer cross-country life. Mark introduced the idea of …

Thanks for the white space, Mother Nature

On November 8, 2015November 8, 2015 By Sara HolmIn reflection1 Comment

Yesterday (November 7 2015)  the #leadup twitter chat was about white space, which was a new term but not concept to me. For years, my mom has taken 15 minutes each afternoon to put her feet up. She lies on the floor and rests her lower legs on a chair so that her hips and knees …

Failing. And landing with my chin up.

On October 31, 2015 By Sara HolmIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Failing and failure has come up a lot lately. Some smart ladies from the #leadupchat tribe taught me the term failing forward. It is brilliant! It means that mistakes I make and errors I stumble through have more meaning than just disappointments and pits in my stomach. Several weeks ago I was in twitter chat defending …

Being Disruptive

On October 27, 2015October 27, 2015 By Sara HolmIn Uncategorized2 Comments

For a small bit now, I have been thinking about the idea of instigating disruption and of course, writing a blog about it. It started several weeks ago when eduhero Sanee Bell wrote a powerful blog for LeadUpNow. (LeadUp is a group I am honored to learn from every day.) Shortly after I watched Karen Norton's periscope …

Crazy quilts are unique and innovative quilts created from scraps of material. They're crafted from odd pieces that don't always match or fit together without the work of an artist. My hope is for a world that values this unique artwork. I blog to make IPOC authors and their works more accessible, to make all the pieces fit together.
