I have always thought of myself as being a right-hemisphere dominant person and doing this exercise reinforced that belief. Besides the obvious distinctions we tend to make about people who work most strongly from the right hemisphere of the brain (more intuitive and feeling based, artistic, visual), I also tend to be more visionary than down to earth with my ideas. I excel at dreaming ideas, but don't always follow through on the step by step process to create them into reality. I am exceedingly optimistic, but not always realistic.

Though I would like to cultivate within myself some of the abilities that seem to come so easily to people who work most easily from the left hemisphere of the brain, I find a lot of beauty in collaborating with others who have this strength inherently and wish to gain a little more right brain perspective. Some of the most creative and fruitful partnerships on projects have been with other people who think in more structured ways and can think up the methods to put something into action.

One of the many, many reasons I love communities and working together. Everyone has strengths and assets they can offer.
