About Me

Audrey Hepburn once said about the secret to beauty: "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands -- one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."
