I believe in love and choosing to be happy over being right in any circumstance. I love holding hands and taking a Sunday afternoon nap. I believe people are inherently good, that life is full of wonderful joys. I love to help and serve!

A poem that captures the heart of me is:

Be Present. Make Love. Make tea. Avoid small talk.

Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed.

Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit.

Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain.

Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn.

Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly.

Let go of what doesn’t make you happy.

Grow.

Another Poem that speaks deeply to who I am and who I strive to be is The Invitation Oriah Mountain Dreamer:

Read this. Then ask yourself if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it. Can you live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon 'Yes'?

Make today count, time is the most precious gift we all have.
