CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Open-minded. Thankful. Optimistic. Reserved (more of an introvert). Relatively calm. Learning and discovering new people, places, and things are opportunities to share and grow as an individual.

I enjoy simple moments, such as picnics and riding in the car with all of my siblings at the same time. My siblings make me smile :) AND I also enjoy adventurous moments, such as getting lost in unknown places and trying new things.

I have traveled within the US, but I have yet to travel abroad, and I am looking forward to the day I do! The idea of seeing different places and cultures excites me. I can only imagine when this becomes a reality. Until then, I am able to learn about places and cultures by meeting people too.

PHILOSOPHY

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." - Oscar Wilde

I desire to live while nurturing, respecting, loving, and appreciating all people, animals, nature, and beyond.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Acts of Kindness - Something I see in my everyday life when I open my eyes. A friendly smile, a patient parent, a respectful young person, a compassionate stranger. I think kindness and compassion are amazing, I desire to be more kind and compassionate.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach.. Hmm.. I can teach you how to fork a yard; How to cook something; How to connect 9 dots with 4 lines; I can share with you who is James F. Byrnes; and I can give a tour of a Trader Joe's with reviews of their various products - Cookie Butter, try it.
