CURRENT MISSION

To nurture others, not be wasteful, and to have fun

ABOUT ME

I try to see the humor in everything. Active, inquisitive, friendly, and outgoing would be most descriptive. My views are mine and I respect your right to yours. I like listening to others share their experiences and will gladly share. I occasionally will sing silly songs and love the outdoors. A lifelong and sometimes non-traditional learner. I like to visualize and then create change. Well, enough about me...oh yeah...I'm a distance runner.

PHILOSOPHY

Get up and do it! To whom much is given, much is expected...I have been blessed and believe in sharing my time, talent, and treasure. Thank a teacher...they have a tough job.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...I like a very eclectic and sometimes bizarre mix...even country...there's a message in all music. You have to "tune in" to understand it. Books: Blink, The Iliad, Macbeth (I know it's a play :-))A Bridge Too Far, lots of Tom Clancy, old school Sci-Fi. Movies: Monty Python (all of them), Alien Quadrilogy, Tears of the Sun
