From the Editor

Can you believe we are halfway through 2023?

Time has been flying by but, with extensive gratitude, we continue to be the pilot of where our time goes Soaring into Autumn, we typically see off the adolescence of our families while they head back to school to continue learning the lessons, skill sets, or experiences that will compound into their inevitable impact on the future

Learning goes far beyond classroom adolescence In every chapter of our lives, we are greeted with various challenges, people, and an abundance of opportunities to learn something new Lessons can feel as small as understanding a new app or as profound as overcoming your biggest fear by stepping out of your comfort zone Every lesson we learn can become a blueprint for others to understand

That’s truly the beauty of learning In one moment we are the student, then all too soon, we are experienced enough to share our knowledge with our neighbors or even the next generation

As our communities continue to emphasize the importance of learning through enrichment workshops and educational outings, we invite you to share your history, heritage, knowledge, and insights as we innovate the pathway for a better tomorrow

We are deeply grateful for all of our contributors Your stories teach the minds of many and touch the hearts of all

Thank You
