The 2018-19 MKE session is just around the corner!!
Time to get the pencils sharpened up, get a pile of new index cards, organize the desk and wait for the new heroes to start pouring in! I’m anxious to see who will be in my new tribe! It could be anyone from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection! What a fun time to be alive!
As soon as the calendar flips over to September, the anticipation gets cranked up. The first several weeks are a blur of activity, but then the students get back into the swing of the classroom atmosphere, and the fun really starts.
It is such a JOY to be a witness to folks gaining understanding of the principles and concepts and to witness their confidence grow as they learn they don’t have to live “lives of quiet desperation” as Thoreau said.

In researching this quote, I found an excellent discussion by Nick Weist on Quora. I believe it encapsulates EXACTLY what we’re about here. Helping others to live the lives they want instead of the lives chosen for them by others.
