I vowed to resume blogging and update my resume, so that is where I will start. Because I am a true procrastinator (something that's kept me busy on assignments EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT for the last few years), I am writing now, even though I am not sure what I want to say...

My life has changed dramatically in the last 7 years, and I am now in a place where authenticity and service to others is the most important thing. What can I share to help others and stay true to myself?
