text: Exactly, whatever it takes. It was an interesting discovery and continues to be a rewarding journey for me. It took a while to figure out what *resonated*. I figured if I'm going to commit time, my heart should be in it.  Supporting the arts and supporting less crime is where I wound up.
  But those applications sat on my desk for weeks...they seemed a drag to fill out. I procrastinated and started having doubts. Those mind games brought on by laziness and fear. That's the backstory to what I wrote previously. Then one night, my motivation/drive was suddenly restored due to several *inspiring* speeches at a DNC. Xavier's put-downs can't take that away from me. So, whatever it takes...and it's all good.
