Proudest Accomplishments
My children. My oldest, now 7, was born in South Africa and although she left at the tender age of 3, she has so many vivid images of the continent in her mind. My triplets have come so far, from being born premature at 31 weeks to now being a group of bright-eyed, busy, 4-year-old little girls. I marvel at them every day.
Perfect Day
My perfect day starts off spending time connecting with God in prayer and meditation early in the morning, followed by a sunrise run, spending time with my family outdoors and ends watching “CSI” in bed with my husband.
Looking Forward
Once my children are all grown up, educated and married, I’m looking forward to living the simple life on a farm in rural South Africa, watching the sun go down and stargazing with my husband.
Pass it on
Live a life of gratitude, always give to those in need and live each day as if it your last ... with no regrets. My best days unfold when I live this way.
