I'm all about enjoying life and everything that life has to offer.  I'm not one to wait for something good to happen...I actively search for the excitement and passion in my life.  Good luck is the combination of preparation and opportunity...it just doesn't "happen".   I love my profession and what I do.  Most of all, I love my family and my close friends.  I truly enjoy the people I work with and acquaintances that I have made through my life.  I am very sentimental and very romantic.  That can be a strength or a weakness, resulting in some incredible highs, and incredible lows...but that is what makes life worth living.  Nothing can substitute for true love.  My friends shake their heads when they see what I try to pack into ONE day.  When I kick the bucket, I want to be on round two of the "list of things" I would like to do and enjoy.
