About Me

A dear friend recently wrote:"once i met a girl who loved as god loved herand being young and foolish i said'see you next lifetime.'and so I did.and she still loved as God loved her and maybe that is their gift to me."Love is what I do. It's my purpose in life. Funny that we all have hearts, with so much beauty inside, that were meant to be shared and given and accepted, but we are so afraid to open them. Just open them.

Your dominant state: connecting What Type of Weather Are You?-----------------
What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or even a completely different life.

You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. Your feet may be on the ground, but your head is in the clouds.

You believe that people see you for how you are, not how you look. But deep down, you know that's not exactly true.

Your near future is all about change, but in very small steps. The end of the journey looks far, but it's much closer than you realize.

For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul -------------------

Music:

I love bands that play small gigs and never really desire the fame and fortune....just the ability to spread their love of music, because it is such a big part of my life. Live acoustic shows are my absolute favorite....I could listen to someone jamming by themselves for hours on end. Without music life would be ten times more confusing and forever frustrating.

Movies:

Films that make me re-evaluate my perspective on life: Instinct, American History X, V For Vendetta; Rent, Little Miss Sunshine, Under the Tuscan Sun, Cuora Sacra, Cinema Paradiso, American Beauty, Elizabethtown, Chocolat, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Georgia Rule, Broken English, Lost in Translation, Stay, Amelie; Peaceful Warrior, The Dark Chrystal, All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Family Stone, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter Series, Rebel Music: The Bob Marley Story, All of Bryan Ortiz's films (www.myspace.com/classicfilms)

Television:

Not a fan...although if I'm around it, I prefer the Travel Channel or Discovery Channel...sometimes the History Channel...if at all.

Books:

The Bible; The Tao of Pooh; Eat Pray Love; Written on the Body; Memoirs of a Geisha; Tuesdays with Morrie; The Five People You Meet in Heaven; For One More Day; The Rhythm of Life (any of Matthew Kelly's books); Dolce Vita; The Virgin Suicides; The Secret of Nimh; Grace Unfolding; Love (Leo Buscaglia); Letters to a Young Artist; Spilling Open (any Sabrina Ward Harrison book); Slam Poets' Chap Books.
