Your blog has a sincere voice that blends passion and compassion with a rare dose of humbleness that I have seldom seen on-line. • I noticed in an earlier post that exercise was something you wanted to prioritize... and I wonder if you are going to follow through on it? This is where I struggle most in my personal life as it relates to family, work and interests that take so much of my time. Why does personal fitness always get pushed to the side? • Kelly, I have met many online acquaintances, but few who have authentically evolved into friends. As I continue the journey on my webucation, I am beginning to realize that f2f is not a necessary requirement for a meaningful friendship. Regards, Dave Kelly,

We hold unique jobs. Even though we are surrounded by people in school, we are essentially alone because we are the only principal in the building. We really do not have anyone to talk with at work who is going through the same daily grind. Luckily I have made some good friends who are principals, and that is why I enjoy blogging. I have "met" and communicated with others who understand what I live on a daily basis. I really appreciate the candor and honesty in your posts. Well Done!

You express what many of us feel, but are hesitant to articulate in a public sphere such as a blog. I hope that one day I can get to a place where I am able to display such transparency in my blog. Your reflections have helped me to think about my professional and personal lives with greate depth. Kelly, I appreciate your candor.

Everyone who embraces blogging to this extent and recognizes the power of transparent learning, truly helps to create a professional learning community that has a power and reach far beyond your school walls. Certainly the fact you're from Saskatchewan as a context to your writing that I value but as you well know, many benefit from your experiences outside of the localized context. I particularly like the way you weave your personal experiences into your learning. To me, that's more indicative of the type of world we live in where learning is not compartmentalized but is exists wherever we are. That's part of the appeal. If we really want to develop life long learners, we need to start demonstrating it to kids. Certainly transparency is important. Also connecting learning to real life is another. On another note, it would be great if you were able to attend the Summit 2007 conference in Saskatoon May 1 and 2. http://www.tlt-itsummit2007.ca/ It's free and will feature some great stuff. I'll be doing a session on RSS. If you're there, we could do a little podcast. Consider it.
