As it turned out, I was not home on January 1, 2011 so I will take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I typically do not create a big list of New Year resolutions, but at this point in my life, I will commit to focusing my efforts on some key things.

• open transformational leadership
• contribute to educational change
• building communities
• improving student learning
• rebalancing work/family/personal time
• live the ‘Habitudes‘
• better exercise routines
• and maybe get a little more sleep!

I look forward to sharing the journey ahead with you. I hope 2011 will be an exciting, go forward year.
