I have a beautiful baby girl who is just about 6 weeks old, she makes me believe that anything is possible and there's definitely a reason I'm here. I hope you have something that makes you feel that way.

Found this card while cleaning a hotel room. I am an avid painter for the #KindnessRocksProject and thought this was a neat idea, almost along the lines of us rock painter/hiders :) We paint rocks and hid them anywhere and everywhere for an unexpecting person to find in hopes to brighten their day and make them smile with a positive picture or positive saying/quote. You can find my rock group on Facebook by searching "Chartiers Valley Rocks" No idea where I will place this card, but plan to leave it for another person to find and hopefully keep it going :) thanks for the smile today!

Volunteerism has always been apart of my life, but Maine Youth Leadership (MYL) and Key Club put me in groups with likeminded people that allowed this activity become a bigger party of my identity.

Amazing motivational speaker. Here on vacation and leaving with so much more after listening to him. No such thing as “I’m just” Everyone is unique and can make a difference. Everyone has a purpose.
