ABOUT ME

I try to be as happy as possible every second of everyday because life it way too short. I love to laugh & learn, love traveling, being places I've never been. I love good food, good drinks, & good people. I love animals. I was born & raised in Baltimore City, which I love but I feel the need to see as many places as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy. Smile - it's free & makes you and others feel good. Smiling is good for your face and your soul. Be respectful. Be responsible. Don't lie, cheat, or steal. When life becomes rough, as it will do sometimes, use that time to reflect and learn something. We can always learn something..from every person we encounter and every event whether happy or sad, good or bad. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Respect the elderly. We can learn a lot from them. They all were our age at some point..hopefully we make to their age? Be dependable. Be independent. If there is something in your life that doesn't make you happy change it. Don't complain about things that can be changed. Make good choices. Choose your friends wisely. Love your family and true friends. Money isn't everything. Sunsets are the best! Live everyday as if it were your last!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a constant change for me as I learn, travel, & grow as a person but there is one experience that will stick with me forever. My 1st time I was in Europe I went there with my mom and my grandmother. My grandmother was born & raised in Germany and hadn't been back since a few years after WWII. My whole life I heard the stories of living throughout the war and all the crazy & extreme stories. One of my favorites though was when my grandmother was hiding in the basement of the house she grew up in, like usual when the alarms for the bombs went off, when her house was hit and they had to escape. My grandmother always spoke of the holes that were cut out in the basement walls so they could get through if they weren't able to get back upstairs. So finally the day came and they escaped that way. If the holes in the basement walls weren't there my grandmother would have died that day. So one of my favorite experiences so far in life was returning, not only to my grandmothers home town with her after 40+ years of being in the US, but going to her house where she grew up, meeting a lady who was one of her friends when they were little & standing in that very basement that saved her life! My grandmother was the best person I knew. Unfortunately she died last Christmas eve. I feel incredibly honored that I got to experience that moment with her. I will cherish it forever!
