CURRENT MISSION

Making someone's day better, one day at a time.

ABOUT ME

I'm very liberal minded and free thinking. I love to explore the world and the people in it. I want to write for a living, and in the mean time I take notes on everything. I'd love to hear your stories too.

PHILOSOPHY

Albert Einstein said that "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of Truth." I believe this wholeheartedly. We cannot follow rules simply because we are there. Rules are created by people and people are always changing.

I live my life to be happy.
Everything can be great--
You just have to turn it upside down sometimes.

‎"Beyond a wholesome discipline, / be gentle with yourself. / You are a child of the universe / no less than the trees and the stars..." Max ehrmann
