What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past. Victor Hugo

One of my great passions is this world is discovering the origin of something.

I read a lot and I like to do research and analysis. In the federal government I worked in analysis. I worked in grant review but I knew everything about health services, comparative effectiveness. I analyzed the grants and the grant review process. I became a resource for what I did. I used Excel and Microsoft tools because that is what was available to us.

I was a good planner. All of that will disappear if we do not document it. Most of it was internal and may be erased. I was part of something great.

We all suffer our own histories and if we don’t write it or take a picture of it, it never happened. My work looks like a time capsule but that is the regret of the past. Each person that has moved on from a job cannot look back. It breaks your heart.

I love history, I love to read. I love to find things that people missed and put it back together again. My life on Medium is finding what I enjoy.

I enjoy doing research and analysis. I like to take those experiences in the federal government and find something new. Writing has taken me on a journey about what I enjoy. I like finding the source and add to current mythology. I write about cybersecurity and actual coding like Enigma. I write about mythology and time management. I write about twins because I am a Gemini and I like the Gemini constellation.

I am in a year of learning about myself in early retirement. I may need the help of others or resources to find my passion.

When I did my core values, integrity, security and privacy. I don’t know my future but the past illuminating my way towards something great.

I get bored easily, so my mind shifts to different things. I like the supernatural and science fiction. I like old battles and romance. I feel like a contradiction sometimes. I like to write about old stories and create my own version of events with my own twist.

My Christmas movies were Ever After: A Cinderella Story and Krampus. I am reading 5 books at once and kind of keep track of them. My father was a historian and my mother was a researcher so I am always curious.

Just be patient and walk with me through my own confusion.

I have great strengths, but my weaknesses sometime outweigh everything else.

I am human just like the rest of you.

Let your past illuminate your future. Let someone enhance your skills. Ask for help when you need it. Everyone needs connection and you can learn for everyone.
