At this juncture on this path of evolution, I realize a shortage in my understanding and a need to re-frame the lens. A quest this complex and varied would require a rich store of resources...in walks you. The Decatur Island community embodies a myriad of diverse experiences - assets from which each of you navigate life. Hence this invitation. Please share your pearls of wisdom with me and the community in an evening of walking a mile in your shoes, to shed some light, share unique stories, and find harmony in the variety of our humanity, starting right here on Decatur.
