CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest and be the change I want to see in the world. Currently I own and run a sober home, am a painter, and work at a church.

ABOUT ME

I am up for pretty much anything active or outdoors. Basically I'd rather be out living my life rather than home watching the reality show of someone else's.
I love hanging out with people and having good conversations. I have a good sense of humor, have the energy of a 10 year old, am easy going and try to retain a childlike wonder. I enjoy volunteer work, go to a non-denominational church regularly and I love learning. I want to get out and do new things and explore the world every chance I get. Above all, I love people. I have the soul of an adventurer, the heart of a mother, the mind of a mathematician, and the dreams of an artist. I just recently started a blog at http://glorilyncherie.blogspot.com/.

PHILOSOPHY

"Like a tree, planted near water, with deep roots. A storm comes and the tree doesn't break because its grounded enough to....bend." ~ Rob Bell

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
~ E.B. White

"Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now."
~ Fred Rogers

"The Present is the living sum-total of the whole Past." ~ Thomas Carlyle

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
~ Maya Angelou

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see in the end it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." ~ Mother Theresa
