'A multipotentialite is a person who has many different interests and creative pursuits in life. Multipotentialites have no “one true calling” the way specialists do. Being a multipotentialite is our destiny. We have many paths and we pursue all of them, either sequentially or simultaneously (or both)'.- @emiliewapnick My violin partner Harry is my up close and living proof of a multipotentialite. At 88 years old, he's in not 1 but 2 community orchestras. He plays golf, has taught and coached everything from human rights to track and field and has traveled the world. As I grow older and notice that I have to be more selective with what I do with my time, I sometimes worry that I have to 'give up' the many things that I do like music, making natural products, doing hair, traveling, teaching and just pick one. Harry gives me hope that you can lead a long and productive life doing all the things you love to do. Like the great Oprah says: 'You can have it all. Just not all at once.' . . . #multipotentialite #tedtalk #oprah #blackhermagic #thisherosjourney #communityorchestra #saintsaens #bacchanale #symphony #blackexcellence (at White Plains YMCA)
