Hello world

I love blue sea, animals, scuba diving with the stingrays, watching sunsets from my balcony and books that keep me up at night, yearning to read them through till the last page. I am a philosophy teacher and all I want is to be able to talk about God with my awesome students, I want to be part of their happiness. I also love traveling, photography, and most of all I love this amazing life. The most important thing about me is that I try to be an awesome God's child - I want to give everyone some love and hope.

Sometimes I'm quite cold, and find it hard to trust or get close to people but I know that there are a lot of amazing and lovely person.Some people come in your life as blessings, others come in your life as lessons. If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.

Looking at problems, creating solutions and formulating ideas is what gets me out of bed every morning. I absolutely adore creativity, in all of it's forms. Ideas thrill me. I have copious amounts of energy, and in my childhood, be it teachers or family, this copious energy was seen as a hindrance. Today, you couldn't pay me not to have this amount of energy and it literally sustains all the aspects I have in my life requiring it. I love being alive. I love life, and I don't want to miss a minute of it, I don't want to miss an opportunity to participate. To me, this makes me valuable, or perhaps what I value most about myself. When I am long gone, I hope I was able to give all I could with all I have been given, I hope I continue to learn from every mistake, to grow with every struggle and to always appreciate the remarkable opportunity I've been given to breath the same air with all other life on this magical planet.
