One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been within a 30 yard radius of an elephant stampede

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I suppose I know a good bit about horses and animal care. I was a volunteer at a spinal and brain injury rehab center, and "interned" Emory's Neurology Clinic, so I have a little bit of knowledge about neurology and experience with patients.
I can share, at least, the things that I have experienced and the words and thoughts that have been so generously shared with me, and have helped me.

I'd like to become fluent in French and Spanish, and begin to learn to speak Norwegian and German.

I am open, and anything there is to be given I will take in. I would love to hear of anything and everything that is important to whoever I am learning from.
