Stacy, this is such a magnificent statement of being. In your self-awareness, putting yourself in the path of intention, you have become what every parent wishes for their child, and what every coach and teacher prays they can manage to inspire in their students.
Perhaps this is more profound for me because I know of examples, and some of those things you have learned: I very vividly remember our first phone call, meeting each other in a connection of sound, voice, and heart, and I remember being amazed and in awe of the life’s experiences I was able to draw out of you in asking for more, and more, and more in introduction. Thank you so much for sharing this today with the rest of our Ho‘ohana Community as well.

I guess I am a "Serendipitious Learner" as I am always on the watch for a learning opportunity. I also go after those things that interest me especially if I know nothing about it - I jump in with both feet - I can really relate to your 'spark' comment. Fascinating topic...

Stacy, thank you so much for this post. This has inspired me to have a chat with each of my children about how they learn, and how they are expected to learn whilst they are at school. And how to make the most of that learning in order to give them the best options when they leave school and head out into that big, exciting world!
(You're right Rosa - this IS what every parent wishes for their child!)

Stacy! I read thru your story here, building upon a thought for conversation - until I read Karen's comment. Talk about suddden impact! To have elicited such inspiration is one-hundred font headline!
The form of learning that you talk about is so adventure-packed and stimulating! To envision one trail-blazing along the path of life using the compass of curiousity is most panoramic.
