The Mission.

The written mission below has evolved over the years in very small ways but it still holds true to my heart and purpose. I love working with young people because they are still so close to god. Sometimes when I think about the current state of adults I lose hope, but when I look at young people I feel confidence that things can better. All I really want to do is inspire the young people I created. A tough challenge for a woman raising young men, but I know they'll understand the value in everything I've accomplished when they're older and wiser. For now it seems I'm just mom and that's ok. It's also why I expanded my vision to include their peers, our neighbors and any young person I cross paths with. Sometimes I feel like a Disney princess (quick to tell them I am a good witch) when I have interactions with small children, it's a surreal experience that I am grateful for.
