About Me

My Links: Recy Vintage & Creations on Etsy Zazazu on Wordpress"Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath." ~ Emily Dickinson
"Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled." ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»I am:...sometimes quiet but more than willing to speak up if I feel the need to... opinionated but only about certain things.I am:Passionate about animals, proper grammar and people having their own styles.I am:...annoyed by trends, flip-flops with heels, too much make-up, being a follower, never stopping to think, or smell the flowers, or help someone.I like:...to have a good time but i have never been particularly wild. i much prefer having sushi and a good, intelligent, clever conversation to a night of activities that no one will remember the next day.«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸ ,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»"I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion." ~ Henry David Thoreau"How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself." ~ Anais Nin"True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»I love:...my family, my cat, vintage shopping, fall, Christmas Day, funky vintage clothes, watching foreign films, art, viewing art, creating paper collage art, travel, fruit smoothies, reading, writing, yoga, France, sushi, Indian food, lavender (the scent, not the color), the Eiffel Tower, great cultural experiences, self-help books, Spring breezes, good food, good coffee, fresh juice from my juicer, going new places and learning new things.«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ø, ¸Â¸,ø¤º:::»«:::ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º:::»"Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow." ~ Jeff Valdez"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin "Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to.""The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them, that's the essence of inhumanity." ~ George Bernard Shaw"Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures." ~ The Dalai Lama"Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly beautiful." ~ Doris Day"I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read." ~ Thomas Babington Macaulay"Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication." ~ Leonardo da Vinci"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony.""Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." ~ Henry David Thoreau"Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.""You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there." ~ Edwin Louis Cole"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." ~ Anna Quindlen"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." ~Oscar Wilde

My Interests

"Carpe Diem! Rejoice
while you are alive;
enjoy the day; live life
to the fullest;
make the most of
what you have.
It is later than
you think."My interests include: animal welfare, yoga, travel, foreign films (if you have any recommendations, please send me the titles!), reading (again with the recommendations!), shoe shopping, clothes shopping, book shopping, vintage fashion shopping (see a trend here?), learning new things, meeting new people, spending lots of time with old friends and family members, collage art, photography.Here is my reason for being so passionate about animals:Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You. ~ Dr. Seuss

I'd like to meet:

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't follow. I'd be at the bottom to catch them when they fall.I'd like to meet...Old friends, new friends, good friends... I value my girlfriends and am always up to make more. I am specifically interested in meeting anyone who has a keen interest in yoga or animal welfare. Or, if you are just plain fun and interesting... drop me a line! :)***If I happen to send you a Friend Request, please know that it is because I've perused your profile and see something we have in common or something I'd like to know more about or some commonality to pursue. There is always a reason for my sending a Friend Request.***Just to be clear, I'm not just trying to bulk up my Friends List and I'm NOT here to meet men. DO NOT message me if you are looking for ANYTHING more than a friendship. I will NOT reply and I will NOT add you as a friend.
