I find that out of the simple things in life, few things transcend a cup of coffee or tea with someone at a great cafe.  My life's philosophy is to always treat others like you want to be treated. Hint: You can never go wrong if you buy me a canoli.

I think that being open-minded is important to enjoy your time with people and places. You never know the experiences you might have missed if you are closed to them. So in a nutshell, pray hard but also live your life and enjoy it to its fullest. 

I work hard during the week, fill my weekends with activities, and definitely love to do different things with different types of people.  I'm a water baby and love to swim or have bbqs by the water with family and friends. I am passionate about travel and always have a running list of places I want to go and adventures I want to part in. But, when I need to recharge, I also love reading a good book at home or watching reruns of tv shows.
