Dear FutureMe, I deconstructed my life recently and realized I have a dizzying amount of potential when it comes to having a job, and a very full plate with lots of commitment when it comes to love, family, friends, spirit, etc. Again and again, I realize how connected I am to trees and how important that connection is to me.
