About Me:
I love words and the various ways we use language. I only recently learned the term to descibe a mode of learning I have been utilizating since my teens. I exited high school in the 10th grade mid-year but did manage to complete 10th grade in night school. I refused to go back. No force existed greater than my own will as far as I was concerned at the time. I have great parents who tried to convince me otherwise through ration and reason. I listened but chose my way. Again, great parents, waited patiently until it was my will to return, not to high school but college. I have managed to obtain two degrees but I am once again going to tackle another degree and perhaps on to a more suitable profession. I am no longer frustrated that I have not yet found my true calling because I have followed several of my passions of the past. That has not been wasted time or effort; I am still building on those footings and still laying the foundation for even greater personal achievements. For me, it is a lifelong quest or pursuit. Sometimes, I am overcome with an internal civil unrest and must begin again. My passions are for people, culture, diversity, acceptance, understanding, human geography, science, math, sustainable resources, renewable/alternative/usable forms of energy, medicine and quality healthcare for all. That is only a portion of the list, for I am what is know as an autodidact predominantly and I have been this way for years. I also have been actively practicing bibliotherapy for years. I never think I will become a know-it-all or desire to be one. I am simply an active participant in a conscious life. I am busy living my own life, my own journey but I am none-the-less interested in the individuals, communities, cities, countries and nations that inhabit this earth with me: present, future, and past. Make it real, live it real, give more than you take, make your compassion for yourself and others equal, realize everyone and everything matters, start where you are at, try to live to your fullest potential using only your life's milestones and marks of achievement for the next trajectory you undertake. Lastly user humor and laughter often, even when it may be hard to or seems inappropriate. Trust what comes next.
