As I celebrate my 41st trip about the sun today I am reflecting on a year of so much change. I purchased the rights to this website over two years ago with big dreams for launching a business while still working full time and raising my family. It is still my dream and my plan. What is interesting to me as I write this an reflect on that dream is that for two years I have tinkered away – toying with concepts and redesigns and formats – trying to find the perfect version of betsywright.com to launch into the digital universe.
As I reflect on the experiences of this past year, none of which are particularly monumental or life-altering, I realize that I can set aside perfect and be okay with what is. I am launching betsywright.com today knowing that there are parts of this site that aren’t quite right. The links are not all where I want them to be. Some of the content is still the demo content from the WordPress template. But I have an important message to share so I am giving myself grace on the perfection of this platform so I can bring you the content I am so eager to give.
As I continue to learn more and more about the many perspectives and experiences of our nation and specifically our public school systems, I am even more determined to work to transform these systems.
You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.
William Wilberforce
I plan to share many of these knowledge building experiences with you through the words of these pages. I encourage you to be part of the dialog – we can only grow and learn from each other by engaging in true listening and learning.
I’m glad you’re here and I look forward to transforming the system with you!
