He write: “Yesterday, in my post about the lessons learned from the production of the Funky Snowman, I raised questions about how we can introduce “play” into the curriculum. I have been thinking about the last time that I felt that I was able to immerse myself within my own productivity. This occurred nearly two weeks ago on during a faculty work-day, when I was able to work on my own time free of the 45 minutes segments that a normal day brings.

Speaking so candidly and openly about such personal matters--it was freeing and terrifying at once. When you approached me after the conversation and expressed your feelings regarding what you had overheard, I was floored. Thank you for hearing my heart and for listening with such an unfiltered, amicable ear. I will never forget that day, nor your words--they mean so much. Having the opportunity to freely express my heart without negative judgment, and now to hear the feelings inside your own heart...it's the most incredible, surprising, wonderful gift of all. Thank you. Sincerely, Molly aka Funky Snowman choreographer & "Mademoiselle" Dear Vinny,

I must confess, during the aforementioned discussion, I was incredibly fearful of your opinions of Betsy, Wendy, and me. Speaking so candidly and openly about such personal matters–it was freeing and terrifying at once.

When you approached me after the conversation and expressed your feelings regarding what you had overheard, I was floored. Thank you for hearing my heart and for listening with such an unfiltered, amicable ear. I will never forget that day, nor your words–they mean so much. Having the opportunity to freely express my heart without negative judgment, and now to hear the feelings inside your own heart…it’s the most incredible, surprising, wonderful gift of all. Thank you.

Sincerely,

In that case, I only scored 49. Seems like a big difference considering switching from Moderate to Liberal would only raise my score to a 68.
