It’s kind of hard to beat that.

Cecelia Ahern

Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.

C. S. Lewis

I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup, but I also love sports and man food.

I love the ocean, and I love surfing. It's something so special and unique, and surfing is unlike any other sport.

Definitely a unique thing, it's a blessing, and a huge part of my healing process I would say.
