I’ve heard of Minda Harts book ‘The Memo’ when I was an active, engaged participant on Twitter. So I was familiar with the premise of her book. Then I saw her book was being adapted into a short film by Seed Media Company. Recently I stumbled across what I thought was the short film but […]

Learning Moves at the Speed of Now addresses a growing reality in adult ESL education: students’ learning behaviors are changing faster than traditional instructional models want to accommodate. Attention spans, digital fluency, expectations for interactivity, and responsiveness to content vary widely not only between cohorts, but often within the same classroom. The industry has to […]

One day, after finishing teaching a class, I collapsed on the floor of my classroom. When I told the various communities and groups I belonged to, their first response wasn’t concern—it was, “When will you be available to help again?” That moment was a wake-up call: if I didn’t make a change, I might not […]

I’ve experienced it myself, witnessed it from others and currently being a punching bag for someone who crashes out too often. It’s like death. […]

Sometimes I feel like an army of one enforcing my boundaries so I can be at ease. But I’m not at ease, I’m frustrated, exhausted or stressed due to the lack of respect for my boundaries. […]

I don’t remember the exact day but it was in January 2023. It was right before my last semester of ministry school began. I was in my bedroom but I don’t remember what I was doing. I paused because I didn’t know what was happening. In that moment the clearest thing I’ve heard from God […]

I pay attention to politics but I’m not hyper-involved in the details. At one point and time I was but not so much anymore. However, I try to stay abreast of politics solely because I want to know what’s going on. Not so much to stay tuned into the nitty gritty of policy. For a […]
