spending time family, learning, teaching, exercise, volunteering, reading, traveling, photography,
It brings my heart joy to spend time with my family. I feel like life is too short. It bring me excitement to research things that I don’t know or understand. I enjoy teaching concepts to people that don’t understand. It’s a great challenge for me to be able to give people a good day with a great outcome.
Exercising is therapeutic for me. Volunteering is my passion. My soul is happy when I can assist someone on any day . I am freelance photographer at heart. Traveling gives me relaxation to an open mind to meditate on life. Cooking brings me peace.
