I have been told that I am a calming presence and that I am a kind person. That is what I strive to be every day because kindness is my deepest value. I look daily to the ways I can be grateful, even if the reason is a small one on some days. I like to spend time with my husband, who is also my best friend, my family, and friends either one-on-one or in small groups. For fun I watch YouTube, do origami, playPokemon Go, volunteer in my community, and spend time with my pets. I also enjoy going to the beach and walking/hiking in our nearby forests and state parks.
