At the age of 27, I can say with confidence that my experiences have made me who I am today and I’m happy with who I have become.  Life can hand you lemons at times and although we are the master of our own destiny, I believe that life throws us curve balls in order to prepare us for something bigger. I’ve learned that we cross paths with people for a reason and sometimes it’s just to share some laughs or to teach us more about ourselves and what we are willing to accept.  The truth still remains and that is everyone you meet and everything you experience is either a blessing or a lesson and it’s how well you play with the hand that you’re dealt. In the words of Napoleon Hill, “You can influence, direct, and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” With so many new adventures & upcoming events, I’ll be sure to grab life with open arms and see where it takes me.
