CURRENT MISSION

To love, to learn, to laugh (I HATE how cheesy this sounds, but it's actually really true and accurate)

ABOUT ME

I am so in love with life. We have SO many precious gifts in our world and I love finding them, or more often than not, seeing them out in plain sight (which is often the last place people look).

PHILOSOPHY

I've come to the conclusion over and over again that making the choice to be happy is not simply blissful ignorance. A cynical perspective does not guarantee a more well-informed, or at least well-prepared outlook on life. More often than not I've found in my own life that the negative perception or reaction is the easier one to make. God has given us so many gifts and we owe it to ourselves to notice and appreciate them! Life truly is beautiful.
