I want to help build a church, I want to write, to read and to travel. I am thankful for my three wonderful boys in my life.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Be patient, you will be awed and amazed, by all people, mostly in a good way.
Be kind, kindness always comes back to you, not necessarily from the same person.
Be honest, with you and the world.
Let yourself trust God and the Universe, they will take care of you.
Enjoy Life, in the moment, it is the most precious thing we have.
Do things out of love, and love will come back to you.
Be yourself!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the privilege to be a follower of Father Gheorghe Calciu, a martyr of Romania, who spent 21 years in the communist prisons. May his soul rest in peace.
I am a friend of a special woman whose husband was in Iraq for one year and a half. During this time for half the time she was pregnant and for the second half she took care of a newborn, while also taking care of her two other kids, a household and herself. Now this is courage, to welcome life with a smile, every day, and do it generously, and kindly.
I am constantly amazed by really generous people, who give without waiting for something in return, people on Couch Surf, sharing what they have, people who volunteer a lot of their time for the community: churches, schools, picking up trash from the neighborhood or the highway, people who just offer you a smile, freely and gracefully.
