First baby step: I went to our second community meeting. This meeting was sponsored by the "Healthy Kids, Healthy Community" (HKHC) group. It was a wonderful meeting! There weren't a lot of people there, but there were enough to get the dream going. HKHC wanted us to get together and share our best MASCOT moment. (MASCOT is where we live). Then, they wanted us to dream of what we wanted MASCOT to become. I had so much fun with it! I was paired up with a wonderful woman (whose child goes to our school) and we thought of everything! New schools, new businesses, a new park, a recycling center, a bike path and I even added a drive in movie theater!
We were told the next step will be forming committees and working with HKHC to form a plan. Then the plan will be brought before the leaders of Knoxville and we will see if change can happen! It fills me with anticipation to think of it!
Baby step two: I called a friend's wife who is a photographer. She was wonderful to talk to! She gave me so much helpful advice about everything from which camera to purchase to how she put her website together. Even though I am light years away from doing what she is doing, I feel like I have taken a small step in the direction of my dream. I can't wait to see what comes next! I think half the fun will be getting there...
