As a child in the 1960s, my biggest and happiest influences were: - living in the mountains of Colorado- experiencing Brownies and Girl Scouts- Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House' books- Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan- observing myself and others- caring for my baby sister- creative expression in dance class- going to Sunday SchoolIn 1978, as newlyweds, my husband, Kevin, and I set out for the wilds of Canada intending to live the 'Back-to-the- Land' homesteading lifestyle in the tiny log cabin we built before winter set in.The cold, darkness and silence were crushing. The isolation and poverty intensified Limitations.Could I somehow overcome the Limitations and seek Possibilities?Volunteering opened ever-expanding community, creativity, and Possibilities.
