Oh-so-quietly last month, I went on a J.O.B. interview. Wha?!?!? Yes, it’s true. For several months, I’d been feeling burned out, bummed out, and kinda blue about running my business. So many hats to wear, so many unending tasks to complete, so much loneliness day-in and day-out. Over dinner one cold January night with a couple of dear, dear friends, I shared my feelings.

Schools are …
