There are so many stories that I have to share that are a result of my upbringing, my home, schools I attended and my Catholic faith that the only way to do them justice is to continue the remainder of the book in vignettes. These stories are a compilation of moments, days, weeks and years of feelings. These feelings exude a range of happy, sad, bittersweet, tender, determined and loving all parts of me that show a person who refused to give in to the negative side of life. My positive attitude has always prevailed. I will attempt to categorize my stories into ones that refer to my family, my love of travel, my passion for dance and teaching dance, my nave nature, my business sense and all the people I met as a result. ENJOY!!!
