About Me

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."
I think my favorite word might be wanderlust, cause that is how I like to live my life. Sometimes it's hard to live that way, but I truly believe that grand adventures are always around the corner if you open yourself up to them, don't try to plan so much, and live fully in the moment. I believe that life really can be magical for everyone, complete with sprinkles of fairy dust and all. I try to choose to see all things as a blessing, not as a burden. Up close, you may not be able to see the good in a situation, but with enough distance and time, you can see the good unfolding. I believe that true positivity at its essence will overcome any negativity, no matter how strong it appears to be. I believe in energy, intuition, love, music, art, creativity, passion, soul, positivity, idealism, kindness, authenticity, honesty, and everything that brings out the best in people. I just love to be inspired and inspiring.
"Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense- he is "collective man"- one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind."
-Carl Jung
