- A SHOUT OUT
Here's a shout out to all of my friends, my fans, and the rest of the world. Much thanks to everyone who has contacted me with the kindest remarks. It means a lot, and while I cannot reply to every message — as I am only one person — I really DO appreciate the thoughtfulness on your part, so, *thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- BACKGROUND INFO
Born in San Diego, California, but raised in historic Charleston, South Carolina , I'm a native southern belle — A CAROLINA GIRL — who's proud of my southern roots, charm, and hospitality, and proud to be a Charlestonian. They say that home is where the heart is, but my roots will always reside in the good ole' south. ;)
Free-spirited, *passionately independent, ambitious, personable, down-to-earth, and open-minded are some of the words I would like to say best describe me. I love life and I'm so grateful to be alive and 'able' to do so much now that I couldn't do before. I am a *survivor* — a medical success story — and that alone has given me an entirely different perspective on life and what really matters, as well as all the more reason to live. My passions and goals in life are many! I learned - at a very young age - that life is too short not to be living your dreams, living for today, living for the moment, and living each day as though it was your last. I also learned that a *positive* attitude and a *positive* perspective means everything when it comes down to true success in life!
Personally, I refuse to settle for anything less than the very best in life! I thrive on constant change and variety. I love to travel the globe, learn other cultures, and meet people from all walks of life. Besides my business career and personal goals, I'm very passionate about making a positive difference throughout the world. I believe in supporting good causes, some of which have affected my own life personally. I love people, I love nature, I love animals, and I love inspiration! Inspiration pretty much defines my life, as I am nothing short of a ♥ miracle ♥ to be living the amazing life that I'm living today.
