“Never stop being a good person because of bad people.”
I have been described as a happy ball of optimism – A creative force of enthusiasm – An adventurer on a continual quest for all things positive – A proud example of what can be achieved, despite adversity.
Sound corny? — A little cheesy? — That’s okay.
I’ll take it as a compliment.
While my odyssey on this beautiful blue marble was altered by tragedy early on, it lends evidence of how the weight of turmoil can be assuaged by the virtues of kindness, integrity, and a charitable disposition, which remain my default foundation. The fact I also used those virtues as defensive armor throughout my life stands as evidence of their resilient nature.
Those who know my story, understand why spreading happiness, and making people smile, are so important to me… I don’t allow the cruelty in life to weigh upon my smile, my love for others, or dampen the childlike curiosity for the world around me—and I am not alone… I am a reflection of many others, whose potential has been allowed to shine or has yet to be discovered.
I have found it is seldom about the destinations, and more about the adventures and colorful personalities one meets along the way.
Succeed, fail, stumble, or fly, I remain blessed to understand the meaning of the words “I am still here”.
And what a wonderful “here” that is.

If you’re alive, it isn’t.”
