Ann V. Klotz Authors Latest Blog: Hugging the Whole Experience

Ann writes, “Endings are hard. The days will lengthen and pass, and soon, we will pack up the moving van and drive into our next chapter. For the next few weeks; I’ll keep teaching on Wednesdays and directing my two small productions; I’ll administer chocolate to Upper Schoolers; hug Seniors after their Senior Speeches; make plans for next year that I will not be here to see. Time will speed up, and Commencement will be here before I am ready to say goodbye. I know the school will thrive. And I know, too, that on the other side of this chapter that I know so well will be a new adventure. I am trying not to fear it. I wear a little bracelet made of colorful beads–it’s an intention bracelet to remind you of an intention you have set.  My word is  SURRENDER. Don’t fight time, I remind myself.”
