Bline, Valerie

Fail to teach, we lose our virtue. Fail to share, we lose our humanity. By third grade, I knew in my heart, I was an artist. To this day it is deep in my core. By eighth grade the activist in me was ignited and obligated me to always work toward fairness. I became a worker bee, climbed a corporate ladder and by chance, found myself an entrepreneur. I grew up on a suburban island in New York and was soon lured to the urban island of Manhattan. Island life, even on those islands "developed" by man, presents many unique perspectives. Nature's laws are in complete focus, respect is quickly taught
