    The Eco Challenge is eye opening and incredible. I learned about issues that are NM faces such as food deserts and environmental justice issues. I want to continue learning and being more active in helping resolve these issues.

    Our coworker passed away, her name is Desirae Lujan. She was a beautiful woman. She had a laugh that felt like  hug. She was smart and intelligent. Her thumbprint was felt all over the County. She left a legacy of two beautiful children, Amelia and Alexander and a loving husband Hector. Desirae's legacy lives on in our hearts every day. She will be truly missed.

    I feel like the more you give thanks, the more your perspective changes about the world around you. There is much to give thanks for. I love having a positive perspective and outlook on life.
