About Me

I like to play the guitar and piano and sing.
The ocean and stars look beautiful from my rooftop.
I know some of the most amazing people in the world, and I'm lucky enough to call them friends.
I'm a vegetarian because it's what I feel is right.
I want to be a nurse because it's what I feel is the best way I can spend my life helping people.
I appreciate a good conversation about world events over a good meal.
The claddagh is my symbol, green is my color.
I don't have to be religious to be spiritual.
I have recently overcome my fear of mice and snakes. I'm still working on frogs.
I'm a night owl.
My twelve year old sister sells Fair Trade chocolate in the form of "Magic Spoons" that she makes herself to support organizations like Heifer International and Kiva. Help her raise money and enjoy a tasty chocolatey, pepperminty, marshmallowy treat in your hot chocolate, mocha, or just to eat. With dozens of varieties and only 50 cents each, there is something for everybody, and they make great gifts. Interested? Let me know.

Someone once asked me...

"What is love?" I told him "Love is when you can't think about anybody else, because the person you love takes up your whole heart. Love is when you will do anything for someone, because nothing else ...
