Dear Anita

I feel like this forum has been a journal of how far I’ve come and how much I’ve discovered myself. I feel like life is a discovery process and like you said to take it one step at a time.

I am hoping to be more aware in nature because I love learning about the different things there. I think I might start a nature observation journal and start writing down things and learning about them. My ecological principles lab and ecological statistics professors are always telling students to be inspired by the world around them. I feel like the more I explore the more I start to see the wonder of being connected to nature.

My farm friend christine got me a gender identity journal with different prompts and i enjoy them. I find it helps me get more in contact with my feelings and put them in organized manner.

I love how you organized the posts I’ve written and pulled quotes and your insightful comments. Hugs Anita.
