Where I'm Finding Inspiration
I draw inspiration from nature and from individuals who, despite facing significant challenges, continue to hold onto hope and demonstrate leadership. Their resilience and determination serve as powerful reminders of the strength that lies within perseverance and love.
What I Do For Fun, Rest, and Renewal
For fun, rest, and renewal, I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether walking in a park or just being close to nature. It helps me feel connected and grounded. I also watch TV, read, and practice mindfulness. Solitude is my thing, but I am always ready to share quality time with loved ones.
