About Me

My daily quest is to be a better person than I was yesterday and there are days when it can be quite challenging. Life is short. Death is long. I make most moments count, don’t waste a lot of time being conflicted and live life to the fullest. I learn something new everyday and am amazed by it. Instead of judging others, I try to show kindness, compassion and respect. You may never know the difficulties someone else is going through. I like "ME" and I have nothing to hide. I may just be another individual but I like to think that I am extraordinary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laugh even when you don't want to, apologize when you should and let go of all things you can't change. Kiss slowly with your eyes closed. Loved being loved. Be intimate with your partner and only your partner. Play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything, expect nothing and never, ever regret anything that ever made you smile. Always remember...every exit begins a new journey.a

My Interests


lyrics - Jessica Simpson Lyrics~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The meaning behind the name: "Stone and Sand"..................When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.

I'd like to meet:

Individuals who possess integrity, grace, compassion, gentleness and are calm and beautiful on the inside. Someone who knows the difference between right and wrong and doesn’t need ten opinions to help make up their mind. Someone who doesn’t waste time complaining about the things that can not be changed. You love to laugh, are not afraid to express emotions, have a great sense of humor and refuse to let life slip through your fingers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~To get what we've never had, we must do what we've never done. The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible. Be. Move forward. Cease to complain. Our words move others. Our words move us. Seemingly small things can make tremendous differences, It is your life. YOU are responsible for your results. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Music:

Give me the sun,the sand,a body of blue water and a clear, warm day....The most beautiful people I know are those that have known sorrow, known suffering, known struggle, known sickness, known true loss and they have found their way out of the depths of despair with grace, compassion and humility. These people have an appreciation, an understanding and a sensitivity of life that fills them with a deep loving kindness for all those around them.

Movies:

Beautiful people do not just happen. They learn from their journey in life. Their character far outshines their outer beauty. They give without expecting anything in return. They love completely and accept us for who we are despite our flaws.

Television:

Their smile is genuine with no ulterior motive of falseness. They are authentic and real and embrace a wisdom that is ahead of their years. They look within for inspiration and realize the beauty in our own lives............Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away............"Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right." Henry Ford

Books:

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I like me!.....................I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

Heroes:

My Heroes are individuals who exemplify courage, selflessness, exuberance,and amazing grace. Those that give the world a moral example that bridged divides of culture,class and religion.
