About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to rattle the cages of my comfort zone
PHILOSOPHY
So it goes.. Words of Wisdom by Kurt Vonnegut really explains life to me. There will be good times and there will certainly be hardships. It is within our power to decide how we react to these situations.
I try to embrace every moment with a smile and see it as a learning opportunity

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Volunteered with aboriginals through Global Youth Network in Western Canada (British Columbia and Alberta). Lived on a reserve and learned about their dying culture and social issues.
Recently went cherry picking near Kelowna BC last summer. I enjoyed living in a tent for two months.
I volunteered for a Distress line during my university years. It feels great being able to help those who were struggling with mental health and those who just need a listening ear.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe everyone regardless of age or 'experience' has some sort of wisdom to offer to others.
