Introduction Oh, hey! Thanks for visiting! Whomever you are, I'm glad you decided to stop by and take a looksee at where in the world I might be. Recent divorcee here, looking to explore and evolve. I never thought I'd be where I'm at, but here we are and here I go! ...I believe that peace is an effort worth making - with yourself and others. ...My single biggest goal in life may just be to encourage as many as possible to live authentically, to honor where they're at in life, and to speak about their fears and their desires; no holds barred. ...I believe that we heal the fastest when we grow out of bad habits that no longer serve us. ...I'm constantly evolving, switching things up on the regular, in an effort to make changes that keep me on a positive path. You should try it. Take a deep breath and J-U-M-P.
