Wonderful. Wonderful that you can recall all those times. Wonderful that you learned so much about yourself & learning. Wonderful that you can describe them so compellingly. Wonderful to read (& be able to save) more of what you shared when we met up for our 1st Bday together as adults.
I’m grateful for your response, M’Lou. It’s been so wonderful to reconnect decades after our pinkie swear oath to remember our twinny friend status forever. You have my utmost respect and admiration for your accomplishments in academia and your never ending adventures in cultural, historical, geographical adventures, often on a bicycle, sometimes on an elephant in a river, Icelandic horses, rickshaws in Thailand. You are ALWAYS WELCOME on my front porch!
It has been my pleasure, too, to reconnect after all these decades. I like being able to picture you in your home, hung all over with your vibrant art, & to know you are so happy with your family & your desert life. And it doubles my enjoyment to know you follow along with my travels & see & learn a bit of what I experience through my photo journals--which I rely on to relive great moments & which remind me what a blessedly lucky duck I am.
Your essay beautifully captures the unique journey of unconventional learning and teaching experiences. I'm especially drawn to how you describe the blend of personal growth and innovative educational methods that shaped your career. The vivid anecdotes and reflections provide a wonderful glimpse into the profound impact of hands-on, immersive learning environments. Just subscribed to keep up with your inspiring work!
Thanks very much for your response. (OK, now I have sampled some of your Kool Health pieces and would like to revise my initial comment): THANK YOU for your kind words about sharing my early 'learning experiences'. It is wonderful to be acknowledged, especially so articulately. I am impressed with your ability to propose so many doable steps for those who are serious about reaching their goals. We are coming from different ends of our 'life span', but perhaps with some overlapping clarity of intent. Excelsior!
