ABCD lesson one reminds me of my roots growing up on a farm as an active 4-H member. I can recite the 4-H pledge to this day and love now that "health" and "human connection" are considered one and the same because, biologically speaking, that is really true. Before starting this class, I created a questionnaire to gain additional information from folks in my neighborhood- specifically those that reside in elderly and disabled housing complexes. I recognize after today's lesson that my questionnaire needs shredding. I now will begin my journey of going door to door not to ask about what people need but to ask what brings them joy! People will feel safer to answer the positives as opposed to sharing the negatives about aspects of their lives. It will make the experience better for everyone and start the weaving of my community!
