About Me

My photo
lynda
Rochester, New York, United States
Each day is a new opportunity, a new start. Life is full of wonder and surprise, just waiting for us to drink it in. I do not want to miss a single minute of it. So, I say, bring it! Bring on the laughter, the tears, the spring, summer, winter and fall. It all has something to teach us. And through it all, God is there, inviting us to a life more full than we could ever imagine. I am wife, mom, Nana, friend...but most of all, I am a disciple of the living God.
