CURRENT MISSION

To live, laugh, learn, travel, and be merry. Oh, and meet some sweet people along the way :)

ABOUT ME

So I have this phrase that I said and seriously meant it only once, but it's become "my saying": My life is epic. What I mean by that is that a whole bunch of events (most being prolonged events) have influenced my life and made me who I am. Through the years, I've become more self-aware, but I'm still learning about myself constantly.

So when I say that I'm a fun-loving, chill girl who's down for whatever comes her way, it's only because I have heard it from others who know me well and those who don't know me at all.

If you ask me, I'm one of those people who you either love or you hate, but you have to give me a chance.

Also, food is a passion.

PHILOSOPHY

whatever happens, happens for a reason.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

FINALLY made it to see Mount Rushmore. It's been one of my life long dreams since I can remember.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone, everywhere is both a teacher and student. There is nothing that you know for certain and there's always something you can learn. Through being both a teacher and student you are sharing-- your knowledge, your interests, you name it. And I believe sharing is caring, and caring is fun.
