Giving Back
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give". Winston Churchill
God gave me many blessings in life. My health, my family & friends, and my talent to create not only what my eyes but what my mind can see. I believe in giving back to my community. Someone once told me that there are 5 Ps to achieve success: Passion - Perseverance - Patience - Productivity - Pay Back.
