Dear Friends,
One of my favorite activities is reading. From history to science and from philosophy
to religion, my unending curiosity compels me to read. A book that has recently
gained my attention is The ShallowsWhat the Internet is doing to our Brains by
Nicholas Carr.
In his book, Carr suggests that people's brains constantly develop as we go through
new experiences. Basically, no matter what age, a dog can always learn new tricks:
think of grandparents learning to use the Internet, or teenagers studying a foreign
language. As we gain information and new skills throughout our lives, new brain
synapses generate which permanently change our minds makeup.
To me, the notion that our brains are ever-changing means that people continue to
grow, and the world steadily grows with it. Taking it a step further, as things
improve, we should always have hope of a brighter tomorrow.
This month, we celebrate Ashtabula Citys Week of Hope from Sept 16-22. It is my
hope that the week of celebrating will help rekindle hope within our community and
show that new ideas and experiences will help us revitalize, reinvent and reinvigorate
the Sharpest Corner of the State. I urge you all to join us for this months Week of
Hope, and as always, I am glad to stand with you to help move our community
forward.
Sincerely,
Follow Us Today!
