1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Patty Sheehan, the first openly-gay City Commissioner in Central Florida, takes time out of her busy re-election campaign to talk about the importance of quiet time. Her &quot;garden of chaos&quot; is a beautiful sanctuary of fruit trees, art, statues, wind machines, and of course, a chicken coop.&amp;nbsp; There are several places to sit and contemplate. It's surprisingly serene, in spite of the fact that she's across the street from Octopus Car Wash.&amp;nbsp; We discuss the day-to-day challenges of being an elected official, and the importance of choosing how you will react to situations beyond your control.&amp;nbsp; Her home is filled with artwork, mostly from local artists, and when she's not campaigning, she creates a lot of art herself. We learn the origin story of &quot;Bad Kitty,&quot; and get some insight into her difficult childhood.
