I recently came across this writing exercise that made me appreciate some of the many people who directly influenced me getting to be where I am today (in particular, my job - which is the perfect job for me). It says, "I realized that behind each branching of the work I love lies a lineage of opportunity, six degrees of separation seen in retrospect .... Take something you do now that you love: Who helped you get there? And who connected you to that person?"
While most of you won't have a clue who these people are, I celebrate them here (and maybe one of them will google him/herself sometime and see their influence!). So here is my:
Associate Minister for Congregational Life & Care
Plymouth UCC
ê
Rebecca Voelkel

Louise Higginbotham
ê

ê
Maureen Gilmore-Hebert
Sue Asher
ê

ê

ê
