A Journey Through Sturbridge

The campaign officially ended for me yesterday at 4:45 p.m., as I visited my last and 2,327th household in Sturbridge. It has been an amazing journey and one that has inspired a great deal of personal growth and community awareness on my part. As I have previously written, one cannot travel the doorsteps of 2,327 households and come away unchanged.

I have gained a much deeper understanding of our community and our neighbors, while personally experiencing a more intimate appreciation of the hopes, dreams, fears, and frustrations of those who call Sturbridge their home.

Regardless of tomorrow’s outcome, I will treasure this experience as deeply as I do the many other experiences I have been privileged with during my life. Each journey that we allow ourselves to embark upon, is filled with opportunity; we need only muster the courage and the openness to witness and experience the prospects that lay hidden in life’s challenges.

I am grateful to all who have extended me the generosity and the courtesy of their time and their thoughts, for each of you, supporter or not, has granted me the opportunity to experience another facet of life, and for that I am eternally grateful.

There have been many streets traveled and many households visited, yet, I regret that time did not permit me the privilege of visiting every household. Perhaps that opportunity may yet present itself in another format, but for those I missed, please know, it was not for lack of want, but rather for lack of time and physical ability.
