#askhermore

This hashtag has been truly inspiring to me.  Since my last blog, I have summited Mt. Whitney, competed in 24 HHH, trained with AMGA to earn my SPI, recertified my WFR, identified my victories and failures, and set new goals for the year.  My point is, if you want people/society to #askyoumore then have something to talk about other than your dress.  My challenge this year is to encourage people to ask people more about things that inspire them, things that they are thankful for, and overall find compassion and value in the things that matter.

So, when you see me, here's a few things you can ask me about.  My new black and white photography class I am taking, new strategies and games that I am exploring to improve my classroom and increase learning for my students, the marathon I am training for in May, the triathlon I'll be doing in April, my climbing team that I coach,  my new found passion for snowshoeing, why I am considering yoga instructor training, my afterschool club helping kids learn to use technology and make a movie, my love for God and family,  the books I am reading (Blink by Malcolm Gladwell), why I'm trainging with a high school track team, my passion for racial and gender equality, my SPI test in June, my desire to go to Elephant's Perch in Idaho,....... so go ahead.... you can ask me more.  I look forward to asking you more too. #leanin #askhermore
