Hello @athenalee

It is so nice to read your Spotlight! I've always enjoyed your posts. You have a great way of adding "spark" to every post you write. While I live in the midwest, I enjoyed a trip many years ago to the New England area. Vermont was a favorite state in that area. I especially liked the Green Mountains. They are so soft and beautiful!!

I love your quotes, especially, "The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." Often we can learn lots of things, but understanding is the ability to apply what we learn to help ourselves and then others! You apply that gift of understanding so well in your posts.

I respect and admire your kindness towards all those that you post to. So glad to have you here on Connect!

Thank you Teresa! I always find your comments very insightful. It’s been a good growing process for me to learn from you and other mentors in how to better phrase my comments to ensure they are supportive and compassionate.

I’ve always been an assertive and outspoken person. With age, and in the past two years, being a patient and then joining Connect, I’m learning even more about the value of understanding and reflection while engaging with others.

If you come to visit Vermont, let me know!
