I'm a Professional Pollyanna; dreamer, defender, encourager, writer, problem-solver & friend. If I were a musician, I'd be some strange four way musical love-child of Lily Allen, Bono, Lenka & Billie Joe Armstrong. My birthday is the Feast day of St. John Bosco, patron saint of educators, circus artists and magicians. Maybe that means something. :P

Life is awesome & rediculous so you might as well laugh.
