About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Learn. To Explore. To Discover

ABOUT ME

A quote I believe in and try to live by can explain me better than anything I can write or articulate:

"Every person you meet knows something you don't. Learn from them!"
~ H. Jackson Brown

PHILOSOPHY

“Life is an adventure. Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” - Mark Jenkins

--ok. maybe it's not "mine" but it is how I feel in my heart just written beautifully by someone else's pen.
