About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn or do at least one new thing a day.

ABOUT ME

I am a happily, married 53yr. old special education teacher, mother of two, who gets a rush from discovering new places and ideas, and meeting people from all over. The world is so big, and I want to see and experience it all.

PHILOSOPHY

If you aren't waking up daily, curious and excited about the day ahead of you....why not? Life is short, enjoy it....and help others to find joy in it also.

favorite quote, "Man can not discover new oceans, until he has courage to lose sight of the shore". Andre' Gi'de
