CURRENT MISSION

To listen, learn, share, experience, grow, not take things or people for granted, and appreciate and recognize privileges I have. A wise lady recently reminded me that "life's not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning how to dance in the rain".

ABOUT ME

I have a twin who as a child learned how to swim by first jumping in and sinking. i watched. i'm an observer learner but quick at that, i enjoy trying to understand and relate to others, im accustomed to being around the anxious and neurotic so people say im calm

PHILOSOPHY

Check your assumptions. If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
