My life sometimes reads like fiction. I'm not sure how this happens, but I have learned to go with it. I believe that anything is possible with perserverance, patience and a little resourcefulness. I love to laugh and do so often. I'm creative and a jill of all trades. I want to look back on my life one day and be able to say, "I have no regrets". I seized every opportunity that came my way." I love to travel and have a gypsy spirit, but I do love my home. I think beauty is in the details and I pay attention to the little things. I cherish my friends and family beyond words. I believe that everything, good and bad, happens for a reason. I speak my mind... which sometimes gets me into trouble, but I think it's a necessary part of living an authentic life. I have little patience for disingenuine and shallow people. I say sorry if I mean it. I try to live in the present--always. I totally believe in karma. I have no doubt that we've all been here before. I realize more and more how much we all have in common. And I am continually amazed and inspired by how resilient the human spirit is.
