I am very passionate about life and living. I learn from every step I make and every breath I take. I love with every bit of energy I have to give. I feel the wind on my face and taste the water on my lips and feel the dirt under my toes and absorb the heat of the flames. I share my life with my beautiful girl Haley, a 5-yr old Schnauzer, and Jasmine, my very affectionate feline. I follow the path that this life has laid out for me and accept each new lesson with an open mind and an open heart. I have hurt and have been hurt. I know pain and have shared pain. I trust that these lessons will follow me into a higher existence as I continue this journey.
