No matter what tools you use to create, the true instrument is you. And through you, the universe that surrounds us all comes into focus. -Rick Rubin

My city is alive with children and their families. My oldest son started high school earlier this week and my youngest two kids began this morning…they took the bus to school today with their mom, which was a first. We are lucky to have that option! As I drove our oldest through the city to drop him off, I encountered many families walking and waiting for public transportation, for the public school system also starts today. The vibrancy throughout San Francisco is palpable, and I love the refreshing nature of each new academic year in education.

This reflection, The Small Rectangle, provided me with a new resource for approaching perspective with a growth mindset. As an optimist, I sincerely appreciate the focus on the positive. Here’s to the school year ahead!

Today I also read this nice review of Jon Batiste’s new release, World Music Radio. You can read it here in the NY Times. Enjoy listening to one of the songs below, “Calling Your Name.” Blessings on your week ahead.
