Reading, Traveling, Meeting new people
I love reading especially information about education or how to help an individual improve their way of life. I want to be able to encourage everyone to achieve their goals in life. Let no one or anything stop them. It does not matter the age.
I have traveled around the world as a military wife and student. Living within different cultures and giving my children those experiences were an opportunity of a lifetime.
I am a born again Christian and I go about the work of The Lord. Everyday, we (as His children) has that opportunity to introduce Him. Smiling is easy and frowning uses too many muscles.
Just live life and be happy
