Ease on Down!

With grades submitted and the "leave" (a year on faculty sabbatical from my univ job) officially in motion now the real work begins.  As I taught my last classes, interacted with students and faculty for final end of year meals and celebrations, I found myself constantly thinking- --- will I really be able to show for my uninterrupted time?  In prep for the time off I consulted with colleagues and mentors as I gleaned insight from their varied experiences, but my path will of course curve in rather interesting, exciting, and even challenging ways to set me up for the future! So over the next year I will chart that golden writing road to show how I attempted to navigate this unfamiliar territory. Taking a cue from the "Wiz" here's to easing on down the road!
