Q08

Is there something (a person, a cause, an idea) that you want to investigate more fully in the coming year?

Think more about my impact on the world and how to lessen the negative and heighten the positive.

I want to continue my journey to learn more about and take actions towards undoing racism. I have so much more to learn about clean energy, renewables, energy storage, electric vehicles, energy efficiency, disposal of nuclear waste, climate activism, international climate negotiations... There's a lot out there but it's all so important and worth learning about. I want to continue to learn about my partner, as we keep deepening and settling into our relationship. I want to learn more about my parents as individuals, not just care-takers.

I want to explore small moments of beauty. I want to try to see the little things, the good little things, rather than let all the sad stuff accumulate to the point that I feel buried in it.

I want to learn how to foster and maintain civility in conversations with individuals who have different political views. I think it is important for each of us to listen to that which is not familiar and that with which we disagree...in a safe and civil manner.

I want to reclaim my time and my energy. I’d like to explore ways of drawing useful boundaries and not getting swept away by other people.
