A Welcome; and a Disclaimer

**The name for this blog might sound pretentious, but that really isn't my intention. Rather, the inspiration for the title came from my realization that, although far from perfect, I strive always to be a better person and to influence those around me in positive ways. While I may not be as influential as Mother Theresa or Gandhi, I do believe that my actions have a ripple effect on the people, things, and environment surrounding me. Please join me as I process this exciting journey!

My Veranera

Hello dear friends!


After a little more than a year living in the tropical country of Panama, I finally have a plant! And, as you can tell, I am absolutely thrilled! She's my very own beautiful veranera, better known among English-speakers as a bougainvillea, and she's absolutely LOVELY:






Okay . . . so that photo above isn't of my plant -- but that's what she'll look like someday. For now, she's a little more Charlie Brown-esque, as you can see:





But that's just temporary. I think. In any case, I still do love her just the same!
