LIKES:
My children are the most important aspect of my heart, and I truly enjoy being a part of my children's lives. I have a strong faith in God and believe in spiritual growth and holistic
healing in mind, body, and spirit. I have a strong belief and advocate for mental health and fitness. I am fascinated with different cultures, love reading, thrift shopping,
listening to music, painting theme rooms, and watching food and travel shows.
