ABOUT ME

I am a peripheral visionary and very optimistic about life. I am on a never ending quest for knowledge, friendship, hugs and where to have lunch next. I love food especially cheese and prefer a vegetarian diet.
I love meeting new people and consider everyone a friend until proven otherwise.
I look forward to catching up with you for a coffee or a drink or even a few days on my couch, so drop me a line and say hello, just as long as you don't remain a stranger.

PHILOSOPHY

Mission Statement:
To remember where I have been and where I will go through maintaining positive relationships with family and friends and colleagues. To choose the ethical way by making a personal commitment to honesty and integrity. To find peacefulness within myself by looking inward while using my heart to guide my dreams and desires, and my mind to pursue knowledge, creating balance among all of my obligations. To content myself in my surroundings so I will always know where security lies within my life. To build a reputation of being dedicated to every goal I choose to pursue while having successes in both my personal and professional life. To enjoy every moment along this journey finding laughter, love and happiness with each day that passes
My acts of kindness are not random or without thought, they are not fleeting nor are they indiscriminate, I am kind, courteous and helpful to everyone because I choose to be that way. It is my chosen way of life, my spiritual path, my religion and my philosophy. It may not be the meaning to life, but it is the meaning to my life and it gives my life meaning. If you smile at me I will smile back, but more importantly I will share a smile with you anyway, if you need help I will gladly lend you a hand, if you are hurt I will render aid, if I see you crying I will comfort you and see if I can do anything to ease your pain.
If I see you broken down beside the road I will stop to lend a hand, if you need a place to stay I will offer you my couch, if you need a lift I will take you there and if you are hungry I will share a meal with you.
I do this because I want to, because it makes me feel good and because it is the only truth I know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I find the meaning to life is in the small details and those small details are often discovered during the retelling of our journeys, our journeys are journeys of discovery and it is these discovery's that shape our lives but more importantly it's when we share our discoveries and stories with the people we meet that we begin to shape and influence the lives of others and ultimately we begin to shape, influence and change our global culture. So I firmly believe that it's through the simple acts of greeting a stranger with a smile or sharing a meal a drink or couch and sharing our stories and parting with a kiss, hug or handshake that we can create and foster a positive culture for world peace.
So my friend lets greet with a handshake and part with a hug, lets share our stories, not via a blog, or diary but over a meal face to face and when we part tomorrow the world will be better place.
