About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be all I can be

ABOUT ME

Overweight, overworked, overtired, overcome and wishing I was overseas.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about purpose and meaning. Some days we have meaning and no purpose, some days purpose and no meaning.
Happiness is the side effect of having both at the same time!
