I have green fingers and love learning about how to grow fruit and vegetables in a sustainable manner.  I am a water baby and therefore love swimming and spending time at the beach and waterfalls. Food has always been a communal way for me to cook for family and friends, bringing insightful conversations to the table and spending meaningful time with people, and I do love a good conversation and a laugh. I am a dog lover and used to breed Pit-bulls and Huskies many years ago, however don't have the time anymore. Still, I love spending time with animals as they remind me of the pureness of unconditional love. In my constant thirst for knowledge, I am an avid reader of Biographies, the human condition, business books and non-fiction. I have a saying, If I am constantly learning then I am constantly growing, and if I am constantly growing and therefor evolving, then I have much value to add to my fellow man and this planet. I will therefore will always have purpose, through service.
