 I know 2015, will be filled with just as much adventure, emotion, love, hardwork, friendships etc as 2014 but taking what I learned and experienced in 2014... I can only imagine that 2015 will bring even richer and deeper experiences:)

It is all about the support from family, sponsors, and friends (new and old).... If there is a life lesson I can pass along to others that I have learned in life so far.... Life is all about the amazing people that you are surrounded by.... So,  go and surround yourself by the fabulous people and don't forget to be that fabulous person yourself too....




live, love, laugh,...DREAM!
