About Me

Still searching for my purpose in life.
No longer in Florida... After burning my candle at both ends I found myself in the hospital for almost 2 weeks with liver failure and mono. Avoiding a transplant I was discharged from the hospital when my liver functions began to normalize and was immediately driven back to Illinois to recover in my parents' house which I once again consider my home. It's amazing just how quickly your life can change completely. Live life to the fullest!
That is my life in a nutshell...

Heroes:

Lots of brilliant, inspiring individuals.
Cynthia Africano and my Uncle Mike who are in my thoughts constantly... they lived in the moment and never gave up hope even in their most trying times with cancer. You both remain an inspiration to not only me but all those whose lives you've touched.
Some other inspiring individuals who I consider to be heroes are: Frank Lloyd Wright. Bill Gates. Robin Williams. Bill Cosby. Miles Davis. Lance Armstrong. Too many to list really.
