Mental-Health Advocate - Adam
The next Inspiring Warrior on my list is a man I have continuously been impressed by, through his strength and determination and for his desire to help others in their darkest moments. He has been a bright spot for many different people and I have loved to read about how he has changed their lives and made our world that much better just by being him.
Cheers to Adam and all that he contributes to this beautiful planet.
Definitely Bran Flakes, so nobody would eat me.
I think we have a lot of potential as a species; potential that's being hindered by out insistence to value tradition and superstition over science and humanity.
I would rewrite the genocide of the American Indians. I am a registered native myself (although only a quarter), but the more I learn about the atrocities committed by people we still revere as "heroes", the less proud I am to be an American.
Immediately start looking for fresh water!
I've thought about this a lot, actually. I would tell myself to start college directly after high school, and bust through it before getting married.
I do a lot of work in mental-health advocacy. It's still so misunderstood, and I aim to help in the fight to stamp out stigma.
Definitely the buffet at Tucanos. I really miss that place :(
Losing one of my children. No questions asked.
I think cats are narcissists, so I guess they probably dream about how wonderful they are.
Definitely my mom. She raised 6 kids by herself with next to no money. Somehow she managed to do this while spending quality time with us and creating a lifetime of memories. I would be nothing without my mom.
I would change how inherently stubborn humanity is.
It has a crisp outer shell with a gooey middle, filled chocolate chips and almonds.
I think it's a combination of both. Maybe I'm trying too hard to align the story of those closest to me, especially my kids.
Buy my mom a house. Pay off all debt. Hire a top-rated financial advisor.
Impulsive. Creative. Loving. Impatient. Interested. Depressed.
Knowing I may not be around tomorrow.
I find peace in the bedroom of my kids at night as we read stories. It's a really nice way to escape all the insanity.
It used to mean making money, but now I look at success in terms of finding value and meaning in life, and chasing whatever is that constitutes those things.
There is nothing better than that feeling of your sides splitting and your head bursting during a good laugh. I think the last time I laughed that hard was when my son (then 6) was in the bathroom of a local grocery store. It was packed, so I was in a stall and he took one of the kids urinals. Before I could finish he crawled underneath the door, and yelled, "Holy cow! Your wiener is huge! It looks like a giant fish!" I tried to tell him to be quiet, knowing there were several people still in there, when suddenly he cups his hands to his mouth and says, "Attention we have an escaped fish, everyone." I couldn't stop laughing. My son is awesome.

There is nothing better than that feeling of your sides splitting and your head bursting during a good laugh. I think the last time I laughed that hard was when my son (then 6) was in the bathroom of a local grocery store. It was packed, so I was in a stall and he took one of the kids urinals.
