I had a birthday this week, a time of reflection. Questioning, “Who am I? Am I still growing and changing? Am I making a difference? Is the background music that I grew up with still humming in my heart?
Downtown on my Main Street bench, I continue to meet people who become friends, teach me important lessons on how the reimagining of Rocky Mount unfolds. I hope you will take a few minutes to listen to this reflection when considering your own birthday thoughts in 2022. Know that I am always grateful and interested when you join me on Main Street.
