About Me

with hope and promise comes the shedding of layers. cynicism is so 2006. i am open to the next phase of my growth. i am inspired to succeed by those whose will has prevailed over seemingly insurmountable challenges. the spirit that shines through and resonates with those who can recognize it. i am challenged to stretch beyond my comfort and complacency. sometimes it hurts. love is the balm.

My Interests

kindness.tolerance.gratitude.forgiveness.philanthropy. idealism.resilience.peace. love. hugs. kisses. small furry animals. cozy woolens. hummingbirds. bees. ferns. all things nautical. fresh air. spring rain. gardening. baked goods. i am interested in art. in skin. in glass. on walls. on canvas. the gurgling stew. the boiling kettle. the aroma emanating from the oven. i am demonstrative in love. i often utilize the aforementioned media to express it. join me. can we just effin look after eachother? save the cutting of throats and stepping on of toes for those pricks out there? i care not if i sound like some faggot pagan girl, i am keeping it lit. the light's coming back, it is the nature of things.

I'd like to meet:

people who like making art. serene elderly people who knit and bake. those with blank skin that cries out for ornamentation. collaborators. those who are generous in spirit and heart.
