“I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.”

I understand that change is frightening for people, especially if there’s nothing to go to. It’s best to stay where you are. I understand that.

Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back.

The world is too little aware of the waste of life, limb and land which anti-personnel landmines are causing among some of the poorest people on earth.

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.
