About Me

I live for deep conversations, learning about myself and all those around me, music, altered states, and living life to the fullest extent at this very moment! I believe that the answers to changing our reality or what we experience every day lie inside each and every one of us. The only reason we don't wake up tomorrow incredibly rich and completely content with everything in our experience is because we are limiting ourselves to less.There is so much beauty in this world that I would like to experience and share in...and will not allow the insecurities of our society to blind me from all the beauty, and the number of remarkable relationships that may occur when you hold nothing back. If you are going to do something, do it...fully! If not, stay home! All the beauty around us at any given time has a way of bringing me to tears...I have walked by, stepped on, and totally ignored all that really matters for long enough...the excuses and duality placed on us from birth has blinded me for long enough, and now I realize that I am behind the controls of my own ship, I am fully accountable for what happens and where my ship takes me, no one else is. I accept and embrace this role...and it makes everything really easy when I am not caught up in pointing fingers outward at passing objects and people!The one hard lesson I learned a short time ago is that you must care for, honor, and love yourself first before everything else. If you do not, you are of no use to your fellow man, and in fact, are helping to blind them. Everything stems from loving and caring for thyself. If you do not do this, you look to someone else to do it for you...and only you know what you need! Look to others to see what you cannot, to help point out things about yourself that you cannot see...we are all so gifted at seeing things in others beside ourselves, aren't we!!! Perhaps this is set up for a very good reason, God's plan. We are not all here to get by on our own, all while just saying "nice day!" to a passing neighbor. We are all here to learn from, walk with, and express love and individuality with each other, and to cherish each other...all of us!One of my greatest passions right now lies in the incredible conversations I have which dive layers below the surface with people around me! So if you have a topic of interest, whether you're male or female, bring it...please introduce yourself to me!
