The Speed of Life Dear Readers, Happy February! It’s hard to believe that it’s already the start of another month in 2023. How fast is life moving for you? What pace are your days, nights, and months? Even years? Where are you in the journey of life? It’s all about perspective. You may have your entire life ahead of you. Endless possibilities. Opportunities you don’t even know exist. So many people that are waiting to meet you. Maybe you’re midlife and making new decisions. What’s next? What do you want to change? Who do you want to be? What changes (if any?) do you want to make in the world? If you’re later in life, you still have so much to experience. The knowledge you have from life can be used to create a new reality everyday, while passing it on to others. You’re at the Grand Central Train Station of life. Get on board. You never know what passengers you’ll meet. What destinations await. Or who you will become. May happiness be abounding.1 Dr. Steven2 1 Dr. Angela Easterday-Holder, former Chair and Professor of Music at Carson-Newman University and choir member Immanuel Baptist Church, Lexington, KY (www.ibclex.org) 2 Dr. Jane McEldowney Jensen, doctoral supervisor.
