I'm a free-thinking, restless soul riding the wild waves of life & I try to live it to the fullest by taking chances where I need to.

And I've even seen an opossum as a pet.
So many amazing things seen and done,
But amazingly difficult to pick just one.

“Never let your schooling interfere with your education." - Mark Twain

"Each One Teach One" - African Proverb

"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." - Edward Abbey

"Be Excellent to Everyone and Party On." - Bill and Ted

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
