About Me

Last summer I traveled cross country for 7 weeks on the ultimate ENVIRONMENTAL adventure--otherwise known as the Windows Live Spaces Eco Trip! You can see pics, blogs and videos of us Eco Trippers (3 others and myself) at www.spacesecotrip.com and http://lesliegant.spaces.live.com/ Aside from that, I'm a gal with big dreams, a big heart to help others, and above all, big FAITH that God has placed me in this world, in this time, for some specific purpose. My quest? To find out what it is, and enjoy the ride!Best reminder ever: Know that if He brings you to it, He'll bring ya through it...AND...HELMETS save lives.
