The purpose(s) that drive me are:

• share helpful knowledge and experience where they’re welcome
• sow beauty and light where I can
• hopefully bring levity, a chuckle, and maybe a way out when things are dark
• build strong communities wherever I can
• elevate those around me and hopefully improve their day
• strive to leave my spheres of influence better than I found them
• find the positive or at least an opportunity for me to learn
• enjoy the trip
