CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was married for 24 years and raised two wonderful children. I am now divorced and traveling through Europe and where ever life takes me. I hope to grow as person through my experiences and learn more about life along the way.I am a positive person who believes that there is good in everyone. I am also a very good listener and have been told that I give great advice!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that happiness is a choice so I choose it everyday. Sometimes life can be hard but you can't let it get you down for too long. It is easier to give than receive, but sometimes you have to let others be the giver. I am a people pleaser. It makes me happy when the people around me are happy. If someone is rude to me I try to remember that I don't know what they are going through so I try to be patient.I guess live and let live really says it all!
