Me

I live in a smaller town in the west. I am a "transplant" here, which means I am not native. I have a different point of view and this view is not always accepted by the established system. I have found an employer with whom my values fit well. I no longer feel that it is me against the world (or local system). It is much easier and less stressful as a team...even when you are the underdog.
I see people around me who live in poverty. There is more poverty here than in most big cities...it is just hidden better. There is a lack of income, a lack of resources, and a lack of hope. I am working to change that...I meaning my team. I enjoy my job...every day. Even the bad days.
When I am not working, I am losing myself in nature. I often disappear with my friend M for the weekend and we spend it camping, target practicing during the day and catching bait fish, and cat fishing at night.
I am writing this blog to share about me, my work, my interests, and my search....for serenity.
