I've been so busy/exhausted lately, I'm afraid to say that my favorite thing to do has been to sleep in on the weekends. Otherwise I like to explore new places, meet new people. Just last week I booked a trip to South America for next January/February. I'll be heading to Peru, Argentina, and Brazil. Wahoo!
You'd be surprised. The most amazing people that I've encountered in my life have been those flying under the radar. We all have something special to offer and I enjoy meeting each person that I encounter, even the nasty ones. It helps to put perspective on life and to decide what type of man I want to be.I've been lucky enough to have encountered two people in particular who have changed my whole view of the world and have inspired me to be bigger than myself. Although neither person really knows how they have helped me in life, I would like to say that I am eternally grateful and that I love them both very dearly.View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
