Twice I have made well-intentioned (but ultimately feebly executed) plans to capture and share the things I was learning–both professionally and personally–through some unique adventures. Ultimately, I realize, what stood in my way of following through with frequency and consistency was the ubiquitous issue of time. More specifically, I chose over and over again to be out and about exploring my temporary home countries of New Zealand and Costa Rica, figuring I could always write later.

It is much later, and I find myself–along with the rest of the world–in an unprecedented, unplanned, and most unwanted adventure. I also find myself in an ever-swirling brainstorm of thoughts and ideas pertaining to both learning and life. The corona virus has turned life as we know it upside down and surrounds us with so much uncertainty, but it is certainly an adventure in learning, and an adventure in life. And besides that, I have an unprecedented amount of time in my house these days. So maybe this pandemic presents the perfect conditions for my swirling brainstorm to take shape and rain down into some coherent thoughts and ideas about learning and living.

Here I go (again)!
