Thank you Mom

You taught me how to love fiercely, how to heal from the inside out, how to forgive, how to surrender to the human experience and how to work for the life I want and deserve.

It is because of you that I passionately pursue a life of creativity and authenticity.

And even though I've been recognized for my academic and athletic achievements, I think about your favorite quote by Gord Downie,

"Be happy, it's all you leave."
