CURRENT MISSION Keep doing what I'm doing ABOUT ME Maybe I was a seafarer in a former life because I am driven by the tantalizing temptation of a new adventure. I possess a strong sense of responsibility, value humility and civility, and believe in putting others before oneself. Nature provides me with a profound sense of belonging that is difficult to convey to others who don't experience it. On the other hand, I love a good dinner party. I guess I'm stuck somewhere between both worlds. Anyway, it works for me. PHILOSOPHY People are wonderful. That does not mean that all people appear wonderful to us all the time. Sometimes we are frustrated by people that don't think like we do or who act selfishly. Nevertheless, there is usually something endearing about each one. Don't be a snob. Don't be a snot. Be forgiving, lighthearted and self deprecating. Don't be so entrenched in personal beliefs that you shut out other people. We all end up as dust anyway, no matter what we believe. Enjoy every day as if it is a gift -- because it is. And like it or not, you have to share it.
