I get asked frequently, “what do you plan on doing with that?” I typically reply, “what can’t I do with that?” Though I also study communications and philosophy, my inner ¿re is fueled by forming relationships with others, interacting with nature, sharing laughs, listening to music (preferably with juicy bass), and deepening my understanding of the semi-crazy yet loving creature I call me. Over the course of this year I am excited to share some of my thoughts and inner world with you via my column “Rediscovery.” There are many elements of one’s relationships, the world around, inner being, and daily activities that are Digital rendition of north perspective of future activity center, photo courtesy of Patty White. taken for granted or go unnoticed.
