I spread this one out all year, taking only small bites at a time, spreading it out, not wanting it to end, as I didn’t want the show to end. Finally, I turned the last page today. 

There is so much I could write about the show. It has had an incredibly deep impact on me. As a public educator of 27 years (and counting) there is so much I pull from the writing and the storytelling when I am feeling down, overwhelmed, and frustrated to the hills at the political and administrative maneuvering that I deal with on a daily basis. 

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world. You know why? It’s the ONLY thing that ever has.”

What I love most about this book, aside from its deep commitment to service, is that the authors allowed me the chance to feel like what it must have been like to be a fly on the wall for the planning, writing, and execution of this, my most favorite show of all time. I am so grateful for that chance.
