Gracias...

Gracias, Merci, Danka, Gracias, Gracias, Gracias ... because sometimes Thank You is simply not adequate.

I want to express the abundance of gratitude and appreciation I feel for you, my faithful readers. I am thankful for Ken Danford's vision, the opportunity to offer this model of education to the community, and for all of the people and organizations who are willing and excited to collaborate, who have contributed financially, who have joyfully shared their time and talents.

I am intensely grateful for the opportunity to practice patience and my writing skills, for my family who have supported me unconditionally, and for the families who have been willing to go against the stream, try something completely new, and embrace self-directed learning as a way of life.

May this season offer you the opportunity to express gratitude for all the gifts you have received throughout the year.

Best wishes for a Happy Chanukah, Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year.
