music is love.

About Me

i am me. i think that life is a gift, one that i am learning not to take for granted. i've been told that i wear my heart on my sleeve, i take that as a compliment. i absolutely am in love with music... art... expression. i cant stand liars... but i do believe in forgiveness. i practice compassion (to the best of my ability) on a regular basis. my mother is my best friend. i sing, write, laugh, cry, love, read, paint, watch, risk, drive, listen, type, ride, cook, play, strum, think way too much. passion is beautiful to me. dishonesty is not. i really like fun socks. often times, i dont wear underwear. ive been known to be stubborn. i am scared of heights. i strive to be better to myself. i wish i could fly. i think george W is an ass. i think most peoples myspace pics are a facade. bean, rice, cheese and sour cream burritos are the best. if you want someone to lie to you, dont come to me, i will be brutally honest with you. i seek the truth. i am a good friend. i believe that we are all connected, regardless of what we think. i have faith in things that i cannot see more than things i can. i admire courage .............................like this:"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesnt serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from fear, our own presence automatically liberates others." Nelson Mandela, 1994..
