"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
-- Henry David Thoreau
"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."
-- Henry David Thoreau
When I was a wee little girl, I wanted to be a cheerleader, a teacher, a veterinarian. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a marine biologist and a couple other things I've since forgot. I think I've always wanted to be a forest ranger. I wanted to live in the woods. I wanted to live where it snowed. I wanted a house to work on. I want to live some place where the moon and stars light up the night. I want to hear the breeze in the pines, smell the earth, hear and see the wildlife, feel the warmth of the sun and the cool of the shade. I want to get lost in the beauty of nature. I want to give back. I want to make a difference, regardless of how small it may seem. ...and I want others to do the same.
