ABOUT ME

My Higher Power is love. I communicate with my higher power constantly throughout the day.
I used to train horses for a living.
I made and lost over a million dollars before I was 30.
I have seen and experienced unspeakable acts of brutality, violence, abuse and other ugliness. I choose to believe in humanity.
I've met Dolly Parton twice (they are bigger than they appear on tv).
I'm a hopeless romantic.
My purpose is to be a force for good.
My dream is to help others who are struggling as I have.
I want to get my pilot's license this year.
I love making candles. I own a 500lb wax melter I haven't had the chance to play with yet.
I work out 5-6 times a week, but eat junk food like a high school kid.
I want to learn to play the piano.
I'm currently reading "The Untethered Soul" - a MUST read!
I love art.
One of my dream toys is a helicopter, but I'll settle for a Ducati.
I have obsessive tendencies - they have made me and destroyed me.
I listen to Anthony Robbins seminars in my car A LOT.
I am a complete business dork. I think strategic action plans and marketing strategies are fun!
I believe that every day is a blessing and that every person is a miracle!
I love music, especially live music!
I have an amazing family! I am alive because they dared to rescue me.
I believe ALL weather is great. Why decide to be unhappy about weather a certain percentage of your life?
I believe you can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat service personnel.

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give!

"For me, losing a tennis match isn't failure, it's research." Billie Jean King

"Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself! Who will you become today?" Anthony Robbins

Centres d'intérêt

First, music, music, music. Second, music, music, music. Third, I have a very busy professional life, and enjoy it that way. My business is demanding, and I expect a lot from myself. I have a sick sense of humor. For the near future, I'm focused on learning, and maybe making some new friends. I also enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors http://www.flickr.com/photos/14532828@N07/ I'm honored to serve on the Executive Advisory Committee for The Open Door Fund http://www.opendoorfund.org. I love the opportunity to work for positive and meaningful change in the community.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I was homeless for several years. I saw pain, humiliation and sadness. I also saw the amazing human spirit triumph at times.

My favorite place on earth is Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa. We spent a day watching a leopard with her cubs. AMAZING!
