About my blog and About me
This blog is my knee-jerk reaction to what is going on in my life. While I attempt to filter what is said, there are times that I am not successful, so enter at your own risk...and please don't take what you read personally. If you do, then you should probably not read this blog because it's never going to be full of happy walks through fields of daisies.
I grew up and currently live in the Delaware Valley. My heart is torn between Boston, London and Philadelphia, not necessarily in that order every day. I work in the dental field. While I am passionate about teeth, I am more passionate about God and what He's doing throughout the world. Teeth pay the bills, but my love for God wakes me up in the morning and puts me to sleep at night.
I write, tweet, facebook and check in on foursquare. I laugh, make people laugh and make people uncomfortable by saying what they, at times, refuse to face. I am passionate about helping people figure out who they are and find out what success is for them.
I could go on, but then why would you read my blog?

Reaping what you’ve sown
I am generally a person who gives to give. I don’t expect repayment…I genuinely love to give. When people are down and out, I try to give them comfort, laughter, a shoulder on which to cry. When people are in … Continue reading
