About Me

I'm an incredibly sensual person and love to experience life as much as possible through taste, touch, sound and sight. My passion is in my writing, however exhilarating, frustrating or maddening it may be... I find solace in transferring my emotions to the page.I'm a massive Dave Matthews fan - I've been to 17 concerts since my first live show (HORDE Fest in Austin in 1996) and try damn hard not to miss seeing him whenever he plays near me...I love to find my center through yoga, go out for sushi, get crazy at a hockey game, curl up and watch movies, go on fabulous adventures with my friends, or simply relax and enjoy the fact that I'm alive. Sometimes, when I'm watching my kitty Jacy stretch out her little kitty paws while she's sleeping, I really, really wish I was a cat.If I don't read my horoscope in the morning, my whole day feels screwed up. I'm so in love with the massage chairs at Brookstone that I can't stand it.My yoga practice is becoming increasingly important and I find myself questioning whether I will ever feel completely whole without seeking - and finding - my own divinity. I want nothing more than to share my love of yoga, meditation and newfound sense of being with others. I'm ready to embark on an incredible physical, mental, emotional and spiritual journey, and I know these changes manifesting in my life are exactly what I need to find myself where I was meant to be.AMAZING: yoga, Budokon, meditation, travel, surfing, going barefoot, pomegranates, my sorority sisters, candles, sushi, springtime, candles, jello, flip-flops, SCUBA diving, Grey's Anatomy, WB shows, the beach, bubble baths with grape-scented Mr. Bubble, camping in the fall, a good hockey game, camping, sexy tunes, Austin and New Orleans, doing something good for others, wine, mountain biking, comfy sweaters, Dave Matthews concerts, my kitty, massages, Kiehl's and Burt's Bees products, fluffy down comforters, Univeristy of Texas football, deep rich colors, strawberries dipped in chocolate, pedicures, working out on the Treadclimber, relaxing at the pool, driving around with my windows down, rooting for the underdog, Facebook addictions, living in the moment and lip balm... lots of lip balm.
