1. Family, friends and colleagues. Everyone who has been giving, kind, patient in helping me journey through careers to achieve my potential.
2. Family, friends and colleagues who have helping me “muddle through” a lifetime of “fixed in my ways” to overcoming technology as being a burden rather than an enhancement.
3. Mother nature for bees, honey, flowers, fruit trees.
4. The forces of the universe for gifting me with purpose and good health.
5. The United States of America, wherever in it’s destiny it may be, for the opportunity to “do good and receive good”.
6. Public service and those who serve.
7. Everyone who has been disenfranchised or dislocated but has remained calm and patient as we reprioritize and redefine “risk-reward, “give-get”and “fairness”.
8. Deeply thinking people who share openly and seek to collaborate.
9. Self improvement for shareable “best self”.
10. Families that take care of their infirm and elders in their homes and communities.
