One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I see amazing things in everyday life. I appreciate a mom walking her little ones to school, the delicate details of a fresh blossom, and the way oranges go on sale at the grocery store just when you crave one.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to knit, crochet, or make bento box lunches. I'll even teach you how to do a cartwheel if you are lucky!
I would love to learn a few words in other languages. And if someone could teach me how to better use my camera, that would be awesome!
