Music, charity work, being with my friends, public speaking, encouraging and motivating, traveling everywhere, modeling, shopping, poetry, fashion, makeup, the romantic time period, cooking and spoiling my friends and family, my doggies and kitties, green tea, mysteries and science, halloween and pumpkins, 4-wheeling through the mud, video games, going to the zoo, emceeing beauty pageants and events, the smell of sunshine, musicals and plays, amusement parks and fairs
"Every decision you make, every decision - is not a decision about what to do. It's a decision about who you are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do." - Neale Donald Walsch
Yoga speaks to the mind and soul.
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great." - Mark Twain
One joy scatters a hundred griefs. - Chinese Proverb
"First, I worry about climate change. It's the only thing that I believe has the power to fundamentally end the march of civilization as we know it, and make a lot of the other efforts that we're making irrelevant and impossible." - Bill Clinton
"Friendship is based on what it gives, not what it gets. Friendship stays alive by serving the other, not seeking to be served. Friendship is motivated by Love, not debt. Friendship is willing to sacrifice without seeing or expecting a return. It doesn't make sense, but the more it gives up, the stronger it gets."
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."
"As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness."
The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.â€
The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.â€

"A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam.
For a brief moment, it's glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again. Though we wish it would have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it."
She walks in Beauty,
like the night
Of cloudless climes
and starry skies;
And all that's best
of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect
and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to
that tender light
Which Heaven to
gaudy day denies.
One shade the more,
one ray the less,
Had half impaired
the nameless grace
Which waves in
every raven tress,
Or softly lightens
o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely
sweet express,
How pure, how dear
their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek,
and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm,
yet eloquent,
The smiles that win,
the tints that glow,
But tell of days
in goodness spent,
A mind at peace
with all below,
A heart whose
love is innocent!
-Lord Byron
kind souls with good hearts, survivors, people that aren't afraid to admit they've experienced the darkest times and the best of times, people that want to make a difference. ♥
