There are so many things I am doing and want to do with my life. Here are a few things I'm currently up to and have planned to make happen. I hope this helps you to understand what I'm about:
Business and development get me excited! I've been successful at various business ventures and have overcome many challenges along the way - there's nothing like the sweet success of a functioning, profitable business after all the hurdles one overcomes. I am creating many opportunities for wealth in my life and that of others.
I support a foundation that assists children following their dreams, proving a safe place to freely express themselves (www.CommonHope.org).
I would like to sponsor several children in Peru (http://www.savethechildren.org/newsroom/2007/photographer-mario-testino.html).
I would like to encourage my Godchild and his family in Guatemala to establish a business that would feed their family, and their dreams, for the next generation.
I'd like to start an International Women's Club whose mission is to create a loving, open, safe environment where women can share, learn and grow together. Where woman can empower and support one another to achieve greatness, regardless or because of, their circumstances.
I love to travel! I have already visited and lived in multiple countries, but my goal is to journey to every single country in the world (currently I'm dreaming of a week-long, luxurious vacation in Maui). I would also like to take a cruise with my husband since he's never experienced luxury cruise travel.
I would like to take my Godchild and his family on a beach vacation (I don't think they've ever had the opportunity to lounge on a beach and just have fun playing in the sand and sea). This is something I would be priviledged to do with them.
I would like to sponsor the education of my Godchild's family so that the girls and young men could get a U.S. education.
I plan to donate money to Environmental Awareness and Action programs. Additionally, I want to donate my time to Green projects here in Hollywood, FL and surrounding areas. I continue to recycle and communicate to those in my community how important this simple step is in our lives (http://www.hollywoodfl.org/env_services/recycling.htm).
I want to own a a house COVERED in solar panels. I want to be so energy self-sufficient that the energy company pays me for my extra watts!
In the future, I would like to take my father on a trip around the world. He's the best father a girl could ever ask for and he'd be the best spiritual guide (all other family and friends welcome).
I plan to teach my children that anything is possible and that we all have everything it takes to be who we want to be and create what we want in our lives and our community.
I am a loving daughter, determined business woman, dedicated wife, and compassionate friend who wants everyone to succeed and realize their dreams.
I believe what I put out there is what I attract back into my life.
Mariposa
