I live right in the Boreal forest in a low populated area and find community in places like Steemit!
I'm at an age where I want to pass on some of the knowledge I have gained from a rich life.
I love to see people reach their aspirations and particularly like to see children develop to their greatest potential.
I've worked for over 10 years (and I'm still working) in the "Play and Exploration" program, working with young kids.
I've shared some of my expertise from that field in a series of books "Bringing Out the Potential of Children" found at: http://FullPotential.co.place or on my author page at: https://www.amazon.com/author/patriceporter and will be sharing some of it here at Steemit!
I find that if we take some of these present moments and develop some potential it makes for brighter futures. So here's to sharing and helping folks to develop to their greatest potential and have bright futures!
I like to ask big questions like - "What is it we really want our children to learn or what do we want for our children? How do I find meaning in my life? What does your future look like?
With that said, I personally have a love for learning and I'm so happy to have found this community and hope to be learning lots from you all!
