“Family = a “verb” that means being present, creating memories together and having each others back. Family is not just some sort of status. It’s an action verb. I made it my goal to create an environment where their roots can grow strong, have lots of fruitful memories and surround them with people who showers them with genuine love, joy and support. A very challenging task to achieve indeed but seeing my kid’s happy faces and having fruitful experiences makes it — worth all the while.”

“It started up from the skies. Hello…wait, don't run away. I won't touch you…don't run away. I just want to talk to you. I won't do you no harm—I just want to know about your different lives on this here people farm. I heard you have your families living in cages tall and cold. And some live there past the day of old—is this true? Please let me talk to you. I just want to know about the rooms behind your minds. Do I see a vacuum there or am I going blind, or is it remains of vibrations from echoes long ago, age-old whisper things like Love the world and let your fancy flow…the way you want to let me talk to you.”
