ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and tend to disclose everything to everyone, but at least I make myself laugh in the process. I'm a workaholic, which I make up for by indulging in life, wine, and exercise as frequently as possible. I like to be optimistic, open, and down for an adventure. I love having many different friends in my life and feel blessed to have some all over the world. I'm happy to help a stranger, after all, they're just a friend I haven't met yet. Life is too short-- grab everything you want out of it.

PHILOSOPHY

"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not."

"Maybe it is time to consider living dangerously. Maybe it's time to reject the commands of power, the dictates of society and public opinion, and to stop worrying about what other people think about what you do. You have the power and ability to create your own reality — to change what isn't working and to manifest what you desire."

“As a woman, I have no country. As a woman my country is the world.” Virgina Woolf

"I ask myself: are defeats necessary? Well, necessary or not, they happen. When we first begin fighting for our dream, we have no experience and make many mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times." Paul Coelho

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

"I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Jack London

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results."

"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt
