There are many teachers in my community of friends who finally came to the same decision as you: time to let go of substitute teaching. It sounds to me like you've got a plan that will take you to the next level. I do hope you do those two blog posts a month, because I'll get to enjoy them! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463633428173967234.post-17037249808217963462015-02-01T04:57:52.542-06:002015-02-01T04:57:52.542-06:00A thought provoking post.

I can see that a complex dot-to-dot book which produces an interesting image when completed would be a mind stimulating and satisfying activity and I like the comparison with taking small and regular steps to achieve some goals.
