I am a self-made thousandaire, with big dreams and bigger disappointments, but I have been blessed repeatedly, whether worthy or not. I am a cat who has long passed 9 lives, only to land on my paws again and again and again. I will share with you stories of travel and irony, humorous observations, my mission trip to Haiti, faith, gratitude, and my own story of finding a way to rise up out of depression to become the strong person I spent so much of my childhood imagining I was.
