The Vagabond Librarian: a pledge

I wanted to create a bit of a bookend to that last season of blogging for those of you that have followed consistently. And honestly for my own closure, I needed a way to say a good goodbye to that particular season.

I made a little pledge for us. I’m calling it The Vagabond Librarian pledge – it pretty much sums up everything I have tried to do over the last four years on here. Among my other aspirations, I want to grow up and become a resource person, a person of reflection, a person who can learn anything about the world from anyone and who teaches others to do the same.

So here’s what I came up with (click on the text to make the pledge):

Vagabond Librarian
• a pledge •

 

I have no idea how many of you will resonate with this, but these are some of the tenants that guided this past season of both my blogging and living. If you’re up for the challenge, choose one of these two ways for to make this pledge with me, a pledge that will keep us connected until I start blogging again in some new form later on:

  1. Print out the pledge, sign it, and take a picture holding it wherever you’re currently vagabonding, traveling, or journeying. If you choose this route, post your pic to Instagram or Twitter or your social media drug of choice and aim it @lanceschaubert with the tag #VagabondLibrarian
  2. Sign the .pdf digitally and shoot me an email that shares the ways and places you plan on practicing the tenants. Make “My Vagabond Librarian Journey” the subject line, please.

Go spread good words and deep thoughts around the world, friends.
