I attempt to live life based in love and faith and I honor excellence in all that I attempt. I struggle with understanding how those who consider them selves intelligent or moral can work so hard to justify inequity, exclusion, and hate. Hypocrisy unsettles me.

It takes time for me to make a decision but once I do, I generally do not change my mind.  It's not that I don’t care. I am not shy or aloof, I am considering as many outcomes as I can think of before I give my final answer. If you really, really knew me, you would know that I love being silly and I am outgoing. I love to laugh and find ways to look at challenging situations through a lighthearted lens. I am not trying to downplay difficult situations, rather, I am trying to find something positive to focus on. ]]> 2021-07-19 23:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/avidconnects/9jhesoz7wqh351ug/wish/1655196876 https://padlet.com/avidconnects/9jhesoz7wqh351ug/wish/1658539023 If you really knew me, you would know that I am an extrovert, love to really get to know others, am understanding, love to be helpful/needed, can be sensitive at times and I am not a judgemental person. ]]> 2021-07-22 17:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/avidconnects/9jhesoz7wqh351ug/wish/1658539023 https://padlet.com/avidconnects/9jhesoz7wqh351ug/wish/1658539173 If you really knew me, you would know that I am a sensitive man, with a softer side to life and I am not as confident as I always seem. ]]> 2021-07-22 17:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/avidconnects/9jhesoz7wqh351ug/wish/1658539173 https://padlet.com/avidconnects/9jhesoz7wqh351ug/wish/1675564351
If you really knew me, you would know that I dislike being in crowds and side more with being an introvert, and I am not always comfortable getting my voice or presence to be known, even when I have lots to think and say.
