Sometimes I am just out of ideas...

This is not just a blue square. It is a new idea I got from this book. I feel this one idea brought me back to life and opened my eyes. It is blowing my mind. I think this would make the best LU class. Interested in this idea, hit me up and let's talk!

There are times when I am just out of ideas. When I don't have new ideas I feel a great loss of energy, I am powered by ideas.

New ideas are like cracking a book, all the potential is just about to be discovered.

New ideas are like when I used to look down our road and see nothing by fresh snow, not a track anywhere. Breaking ground in all of that untouched snow was awesome.

New ideas are energy.

Here is something I look forward to every year, the 12 Day Summit. A school district puts out 12 days of videos and each day that passes it just gets better.

Check out what they shared last year and the one before. Spoiler... Catlin Tucker has a video each year including this one!

Anything you see in the camera's len will be broadcast to the big screen. I just used this method to take a picture of my notebook as a demonstration of how co

Finished editing and want to turn it back into a PDF? Click File . 1. Click Save As . 2. Click This PC . 3. Pick a location. I usually save things to my desktop. 4. Click Save as type - and choose PDF. 5. Click Save .
