Challenges - Ongoing Becoming

To know myself and my family
To be A to Z with others (family, students, strangers, friends )
To work on health (heart, mind, guts)
To express and reflect on my thoughts
To curate, learn, and from interesting people
To Engage, Express, and Enjoy an Experience

What do you want to exist - even if you don’t?
How much of a difference do you make to it now?
