Happy Birthday to my friend and mentor, Dr. Joseph Harbosky. Every year I told him how special he was to me, how appreciative I was to have been gifted so much of his time and wisdom, how he changed my life in so many ways, and how glad I was I didn’t give up on myself thanks to him. Last year I spent his birthday disappointed that he was gone and I couldn’t tell him those things. I have felt lost since his passing that we still had so much we wanted to accomplish. The loss and sadness run deep. The hole in my heart is still there but it is changing. I sit at his old desk now and I feel his encouragement and zeal for wanting to know how everything in the universe worked. I deeply miss talking to him and exploring topics that no one else seems to know or care about (Can Field Theory allow a person to learn how to ride a motorcycle effortlessly without instruction? Resounding YES!) There will never be another “Doc” like him and I will never have another friend or mentor like him but I can honor his memory by using what he taught me. I know so many of you that knew him are still feeling the deep loss as well and I thought today would be a wonderful day to share a video we had recorded in 2016 so you could hear his voice, see his smile and feel his generosity and love of educating and empowering others. Enjoy, ♥ Dr. Rockwood
