About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do my part in making the world a better place

ABOUT ME

I am an independent, focused, action oriented type A person, that loves to meet new people with varied interest. I can get on well with senior citizens and kids as I am very easy to talk to and adapt to any situation. I like trying things that are new and will do an activity atleast once. Music, dance, food and travel are my passion. I try to travel on vacation atleast once a year and can be happy both camping/ backpacking to living it up in a 5star luxury. You can say that I am adaptable and will pitch in and do my part in any group activity

Music makes me happy and I listen to music from 70's to current rock and pop. I do enjoy a lot of Christian music. I love God as he gives me Joy and is a big part of my life, I do enjoy studying the Word of God.

PHILOSOPHY

We can change the world one person at a time. God has an amazing plan and I have a part in it. I can do something to make the world a better place for me and the generations after it. Always be positive and be around positive people and the world will seem so much brighter.
