But after a rain comes to the desert the next day the ground is filled with wild desert flowers that pop up and it becomes a beautiful place.ย He mused about using his vision to see the flowers when it’s dry rather than just his sight those times after it rains.
As I listened to him, I thought to myself, “Man, how many times do I just look at myself, look at my , a desert.”ย I asked myself, “where am I only seeing the brown and grey; where am I seeing rather than visioning?”
My vision is for the Farmington Valley to be the healthiest place in CT.ย I see folks who are free and clear, 
I see folks off of drugs and not needing surgery.ย I see folks who are out running, biking and playing outdoors and are patronizing the organic sections of food markets.ย I see them supporting our local farms and farmers markets and those markets providing us with food.ย I see clear and loving people helping each other out, erasing theย grumpy New England stigma.ย I see houses of worship filled with worshipers, rather than religionists.ย I see God’s love being spread throughout the valley.
Today I will do my part to fulfill my vision for the Farmington Valley.ย Will you join me in this vision and help me?
