I enjoy planting flowers and tomatoes as it is rewarding nurturing them to help them grow and produce fruit.


Reading takes me away to another world where I can imagine what the characters look like. Once I am finished a book that I really enjoyed, I tend to gp into withdrawal for a few days.


Both my Grand Mothers were amazing bakers and my Mom and I followed in their footsteps. I love trying new recipes for my friends and family to enjoy.


Going to the beach is truly something that my Family and I try to do as often as possible. The sand, waves and sun help me to relax and swimming is so freeing.


If I did not have music in my life, it would certainly be empty. Music makes me smile and want to dance when I am feeling down.
