Making an Impact

An impact starts small, it’s not all at once. You pound through it, break against it, chip away at it – day after day after day which turns into week after week. And after awhile of trying to do something, you take a step back and realize the dent, the hole, the whatever you have made. The Impact.

On top of all this, we have the incoming priorities of the world, country, province and everything else coming at us that many times we are reading articles and having to draw matrix lines between what someone said here to how it maps over to here.
