I am here for Friends

About Me

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us -- it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others-Marianne Williamson.................................................. ................................................. Most would describe me as energetic and passionate. I am the youth director at an incredible church. I think it's really amazing to have a job that gets me up in the morning. Many will go their whole lives never finding a job they truly love. My students and youth staff are amazing. I am so blessed. I like to drink coffee and I love to sit around and talk to friends about anything and everything and nothing. Traveling gives me peace of mind. I love a great sunset and the feeling of a job well done. I love doing chin-ups, so empowering. I don't want to ever settle for less than God's best in my life. I pray a lot...God's hope and grace have been the only things that I can always count on. I love naps on the beach. I like talking with people that I don't know. I am a certified personal trainer. I am fluent in sign language. I love hanging out with teenagers, counseling and doing my part to make the world an easier place to exist in. "Do not go where the path may lead...go where there is no path and leave a trail."- Ralph Waldo Emerson.
