It is my desire to share with you the beauty of finding adventures, exploring the world, and finding meaning in your life through experiences. I am an American living in England enjoying day trips to castles, gardens, and local parks. I have traveled several times to Europe to countries such as France, Italy, Monaco, and Spain. In the past two years, I have traveled twice to Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa. Both within my travels and in small outings, I get excited about seeing new things and sharing with others through my photos and stories.
I may find delight in the flight of a bird…
the pedals of a flower, or…
…the smile of a child. 
Being mindful in the smallest of moments, cherishing the simple pleasures of life gives me joy. I choose to let these moments overpower the negative moments in my life. I try not to waste minutes or even seconds on those thoughts that cause me distress or anxiety. Don’t get me wrong, we all have our moments, but when I find myself feeling down, I rechannel my thoughts to something that encourages me, inspires me, or simply brings a smile to my face. As a way of fulfillment, I may take action to make the world a better place, however small my contribution.
I am passionate about the environment, educating our youth, and having fun with our families. Some of the ways I take action are to educate others. As a child development specialist, I provide guidance or mentorship to parents and families. As an environmentalist, I take time out of my day to pick up litter and encourage others to do the same. As a family advocate, for all types of families, I provide tips and ideas for families to spend more positive time together.
It’s my crazy good life, and I encourage you to embrace your crazy good life, too!
