For me, one of the reasons I’ve always been drawn to Education is my belief in the mantra: “Each one, reach one, teach one.” Our journeys are deeply personal—some may feel too ashamed to share theirs, while others believe it’s nobody’s business. But I’ve realized that by opening Continue reading

Great Expectations…… A Time to Build
This is where I am now… “A time to build”. Here is my chance to re-build.

About Me
I LIVE LOVE LAUGH LEARN – the only way I know how to survive this life! I am a free-spirited, independent, or uninhibited person. I began this blogging journey years ago for sharing my thoughts on everyday life. Since then, so much has happened including me being in a coma because of Sickle Cell with brain damage and extreme trials in life.
