About Me

I work with the developmentally disabled, helping them live the life they dream of. I am the voice for someone who cannot speak, I listen for someone who cannot hear, I create a vision for someone who cannot see. My work is my passion and my life."When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world...." -- Eckhart Tolle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"The good life is the middle way between ambition and compassion, between action and reflection, between company and solitude, between hedonism and abstinence, between passion and judgement, between the cup of coffee and the glass of wine." -- Jay McInerney, author of The Good Life.â€œWhatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.â€ -- Deepak Chopra~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
