As we move through our life, we constantly intercept or are intercepted by people, ideas, and choices. These encounters shape who we are, but no more than the decisions we make because of these encounters. It is the same with me. Growing up in a rural area, there was not much in the way of modern windows. But that was a blessing in disguise. I turned to reading as a way to learn about the world at large. As we did not have many toys, we made our own. This helped nurture a powerful imagination. Both of these aspects led me to be creative. Unfortunately it wasn’t focused. These first few posts will be background about why I am here and why I have begun this endeavor.
