My new year's resolution is fairly basic, but probably the most important one yet:
1) devote my self to being a more considerate/attentive lover, family member, friend, and community member.
2) a present from Laura will hopefully be a guide for realizing how I can work toward the type of community/world I wish to live in
3) push my creativity/writing to break through new realizations and forms
4) continue to develop and initiate new forms of learning in my courses (especially those that develop student autonomy, creativity and responsibility)
5) help someone I respect get elected to city council (already a couple of good, new candidates)
6) get outside in the natural world as much as possible
