I have the body of an 18-year-old, but it's in the trunk of my car and it's starting to smell. I am smarter than my 5th grader but getting dumber every day. Until I have completely lost it though, I will continue to be a tireless advocate for self-reliance and responsibility, encouraging individuals to actively protect life through awareness and education. My blog focuses on empowerment in a variety of ways. I am using my voice to help make a change in this wonderful world we live in. Through networking, communication and activism we can all make a difference in the lives of others – hopefully through this job as a mother and educator, I can make the environment better for the next generation – my children.
