I love to laugh, sing, smile. Travel. Explore, discover, experience. A good book, a great poem, a powerful picture. A person's soul exposed, expressed, through their passion. I'm addicted to moments when I find myself wide open, connected, aware of the world around me. Deeply comforted by the thought that we all, no matter how small or insignificant our lives may seem to be, can make a difference, can initiate change, can make our small corner of the world a more positive place. If I had one wish, one aspiration, it would be to have been helpful in some way, to have created an opportunity for children, or anyone, to become more aware, more open and accepting, of the differences that make us unique, and the powerful common threads that bind us.
