I would rather die of passion than of boredom.

I hope you had a great July 4th weekend celebrating our freedoms and independence. Don’t take them for granted. All of the soldiers and their sacrifices who fought for our freedom should not go unnoticed. We live in the best country in the world. We need to celebrate that and not take it for granted.
The preservation of freedom is not the task of soldiers alone. The whole nation has to be strong.

I am not sure if it was because my grandpa was so involved in sports or if it was in my DNA, but I love being a part of a team. I enjoy camaraderie and fighting for a common goal. The people I have met at different sports camps and along the way will forever have a place in my heart. Sports instilled in me the willingness to work with other people. That has helped me throughout my career as a teacher as well as a caregiver and a wife.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision, the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Instead of worrying about what may happen, take the chance and follow your dreams.

I love this quote because I quit my job, moved to Thailand, came back, started caring for my Gram and the journey led me to My Prince. Today is his birthday, and I can’t wait to celebrate him and the amazing man he is. So thankful for my journey.

I believe listening is a hard task for most of us. What we need to try to do is listen without judgment, without thinking about what we are going to say next.
The kindest thing you can do for someone else is listen without forming an opinion.
