As a child, I was fascinated by each of the four season. They all had their own unique beauty and bountiful treasures. With each new season came it's own wonderful holidays that my family would celebrate together in a big way. Even on Mayday we would gather flowers, make little bouquets and hang them on neighbors doors to be discovered later.
My love of nature and family gave me a solid foundation in life and taught me respect, appreciation for what I have, the value of hard work and being kind and helpful. It was a wonderful time and place to grow up, and as I look back I realize that my childhood was perfect.
My career path has been in service to others. Firstly, I was a nanny for many years and even lived in England as a nanny. I then became a nurse and served in many different hospitals and medical settings, I was entrusted to help others, which is something I took very seriously. I've seen people at their best and also at some of the worst moments in their lives, and feel blessed to be able to offer them kindness and compassion in their hour of need. I've held the hands of people as their heart beat for the very last time and their souls took flight.
Through it all, I've seen that the human spirit is capable of anything and that Mother nature gives us everything.
I hope that my story inspires a spark in those who read it, and that children everywhere are called to follow their dreams, for they really do come true!view less
