Discover some of the great places in my life

How much do the places where we live, work, and visit impact who we are and what we do?

I think the culture and ecology of a place have a great deal with shaping the people we are and the actions we take.

You can learn more about me by visiting some of the important places in my life -- at least via the web.

Where do you stand?

Do the places where we live shape who we are?

Of course they do

ChrisDay says:

Energy is everything - places have energy so of course they have an influence but they are not the only energy to which we are susceptible.

Spartak says:

Sure they do. But I believe that it's not the place itself (nature, woods, mountains,...) that has the biggest impact on our personality and behaviour - but the culture and society around mentioned place.

Nah, we shape them

gogolf162 says:

No, I do not think so but it certainly helps to be in nice places!

The places of my childhood

Two of the primary places of my childhood are my hometown and my family's summer vacation destination. My family has deep roots in my hometown as my family has lived their for generations. My husband's family as well.

Normally, I wouldn't really count a vacation spot as a place that would shape your life but we returned to the same vacation spot for a dozen years and so that place is a key feature of my childhood.

Where I am from now

My husband and I moved here in 1996 and this is the only hometown my son has ever known.

Our family vacations on the gulf shores

For the past three years we have vacationed on the Gulf Shores and we plan to return again this year

Another important place my life

Lubbock is the home of Texas Tech where I am currently working on my Ph.D. Every May I spend a few weeks in Lubbock to establish my residence, work on my degree, and connect with professors and peers. This experience has greatly changed me as a professional, writer, teacher, and person.

A place that impacts all Americans

Perhaps because this is more than simply a place...it is an idea, a promise, a hope...but I think this place is important to all citizens, and all hopeful citiziens, of the United States of America.

What do you think?

Is the Statue of Liberty an importance place?

Loading

Of course it is

darciefrench says:

In my mind it will always be about it's original intent. The American dream was just a dream after all, but it was a good dream that raised the sea for many.

Maybe once but now the American Dream is tarnished, tattered, and torn

 

How many important places are there in your life?

Putting together this lens has made me realize that I have more lenses I need to make if I really want a lens for every important place in my life! I can think of at least seven more places I need to include. How about you? How many important places are there in your life?

    Rome and indeed will always hold a special place in my heart and the Rome related lenses were probably amongst the first I created as a result

    Excellent lens, especially for those of us that don't have a "hometown". Thumbs up!

    I've been making lenses about some of the small towns that my ancestors lived in (Reading, Tyro, Teterville in Kansas, Wincanton England) so I guess those have shaped who I am as well as places I've lived. Maybe after the holidays, I should make some lenses about my own places.

Love me, love my places
