“Hope is the ability to discover beauty in the face of adversity and to see even a spark of light when surrounded by darkness. It is the cornerstone of resiliency and a necessary asset if one is to trust in the unspoken promises of tomorrow.”

“The most important “things” in my life are my people, my relationships. They give me fuel, comfort, joy, and a feeling of home wherever I am. They truly are my driving purpose. And they also give me stress!!! So it is imperative to me that I fill as much time with fun and laughter, and balance this with time to unwind, self-reflect, and relax.”
