I’m a friendly person. I enjoy chatting with strangers, and having pleasant, casual interactions. 

I love my Peloton and give out high fives to my fellow riders when I join the ride, when I leave the ride, and, yes, while I’m riding.

I drive a Jeep, and was thrilled to discover, that Jeep owners wave to one another on the road. I have enthusiastically joined in this practice. 

At the beginning of 2016, I engaged in an exercise to identify a ‘Word for the Year.’ To essentially choose a word that would be my theme for the year, that would serve as my guiding intention for the next 12 months.
