In the Interstices

Leading and Learning in the Spaces Between

A place to think, to write, to grow - with you.

Life is busy. Mother, wife, school leader, reader, thinker, writer, believer. It seems that I have only the intervening spaces to create something more. So, here we are.

This is an experiment in the habit of saying something more. Saying it well enough to share it. Becoming a better thinker, a better writer, a better human.

I am working in the empty spaces. The interstices of my life.

Welcome!

I’m a classical educator, teaching humanities, logic, rhetoric, and the occasional philosophy class, and Head of a classical Christian hybrid school But this blog didn’t begin as a platform—it began as a notebook.

Over the years, I’ve kept a commonplace book: a running collection of quotes, questions, and reflections drawn from what I read, teach, and live. This blog is, in spirit, a digital extension of that practice—a space for ideas to breathe, rest, and grow.

Here you’ll find:

quotes from old books and new ones, often paired with reflection;
notes from the classroom and faculty of friends;
essays on teaching, learning, and leading;
philosophical musings on truth, beauty, virtue, and the ordinary days in between.

Though I write from the perspective of a classical Christian educator, this blog is personal-unpolished, unfolding, and sometimes unfinished. It is a place to think aloud, to return to first principles, and to wonder aloud about the good life, education, and the art of being human.

I hope you find something here that makes you pause or smile—or perhaps jot something down for your own notebook.

Soli Deo Gloria,
Amy
