The Beginning (or the End)

So I've done it. I've started a blog after years of back-and-forth on what my blog would be about and why it should even exist. Finally, my reason has arrived. I'm leaving my eight-year career as a teacher adn venturing into the murky waters of grad school and career building. I've kept journals for more than 10 years, and they've always been a repository for half-fleshed out ideas and musings. I want these scribblings to be more than margin notes (hence the name) and come alive in the real world. More Than Margin Notes is meant to help me practice accountability for my personal and career goals as I transition from teacher to student, professional to newbie.

This blog is partly inspired by a talk I attended recently about the abundance mindset and non-zero days. Ideally, the term non-zero days means that every day I will do something (no matter how small) towards achieving my goals. Writing a blog post about how I'm doing in my plans and goals is part of that process, and I need your help. Accountability does not exist in a vacuum or on an uninhabited island. It's a cooperative and collaborative experience. You're all my accountability partners (if you want to me) as I transition from wishful thinking to scrawled in a forgotten journal entry to realization of my objectives. Please share your input, perspectives, and lives with me in the comments below. You're an essential part of my non-zero days.
