"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them yes." - Nike

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
- Ayn Rand
My Creed "I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon. I seek to develop whatever talents God gave me—not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say – ‘This, with God’s help, I have done.’"

It is my one time to be me.
I want to experience every good thing."

"Don't let your eyes refuse to see,
Don't let your ears refuse to hear."

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

... was fortunate enough a few years back to travel throughout the Mediterranean, do aerial photography, live in Italy for 6 months, go thru the Strait of Gibraltar & the Bermuda Triangle, and visit France, England, Portugal, Malta, Palma, Spain, the Azores, Puerto Rico, etc. several times. I loved seeing so many new places, meeting different people and understanding the cultures.
...competed in the Iron Girl Triathlon in Maryland and ran in the 5-miler in Denver... I love running, hiking, mountain biking, partying, being with friends, and I adore going to concerts... also try to volunteer year-round (overseas, whiz kids, adopt-a-school, whatever).
