Oh my, Erin!  I am grinning ear to ear!  As a math teacher you have stumbled into a long held love.  Chaos Theory and the Butterfly Effect are wonderful examples of how mathemtics and life intersect in compelling and amazing ways.

I know you didn't come here to talk about math and fractals, but I so love that you see this connection.  Maybe I should write a little something about that some day!  Hmmm...  you so have my neurons all firing!  :)

You are so right about the responsibility aspect.  Knowledge that we matter is the first step.  Then owning what we do is the second.  Maybe then as a third step we move toward making better and better choices.  Continual improvement!

Thank you Erin for stopping in and talking.  I am always so inspired by the leaders around me.
