"Know Thyself" The unexamined life is not worth living. -Socrates, in Plato's "Apology"

About Me

Hmm...a good word to describe me is paradoxical. You may perceive me as the opposite of what I really am. I am an extremely deep person with a huge heart who can be a little too serious for most. Others might say I am fun loving, silly, maniac extremist, with high energy just looking for the next best moment. Who knows with me....you might find me being the meditating, yogi, hiking thru the LA mountains, fasting, getting a healing, and speaking of some ancient scriptures I just read or you might catch me jumping out of airplanes, snowboarding down the intermediate side (when I'm just a beginner), dancing on the bar top with friends, hopping on a plane to Paris for the weekend, riding on the back of motorcycles, enrolling in a performance improv class (to push myself out of my comfort zone)....basically being completely in the moment. I am constantly working on the art of BALANCE. All I really want is happiness, abundance, prosperity, joy, bliss, intimacy, compassion, wealth while always being in the NOW. To enjoy every moment and live effortlessly. Is that too much to ask??? ;)

My Interests

WOW! Curiosity leads me in many different directions. New Beginnings. The Unknown. TRANSFORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF A BEING. Being Creative and sharing it with the world in whatever realm or medium it may be. Creating abundance through effortlessness and my true meaning. To live out my God given talents and true purpose in life. To live a meaningful life while surrounding myself with true love, infinite wisdom, happiness, wealth, success, passion, joy, fun, positive flowing energy, endless soulful projects and bliss. Emotional Intelligence. Intellect w/ insight to see out of the box. Oneness while embracing unqiness. Multidimensional. Understanding. Compassion. Unconditional love. God. Jesus. Buddha. Gandhi. Family. Love. Passion. Heart. Soul. Spirit. Wellness. Enlightenment. Higher Consciousness. Living in this moment. Bringing 'sexy back' to spirituality. Giving new meaning to 'TrueReligion'. Taking it to the next level. Breaking patterns. Creating a New Earth. Elevating the Human Mind to places it has yet to go. Transcend. Being your true potential. Self Mastery. Courage. Being a Goddess. Grace. Kindness. Meditation,www.introtomeditation.com. Kundalini Yoga. Guru Singh teachings. Giving back. Contributing. Healing. Laughing. Being silly.Seeing all of the world (My number 1 goal in life). Adventure (I thrive off of it). Travel (is my knowledge & education). Culture (is depth & I hunger for it). Beauty (is in the eye of the beholder & I seek it with all I do). Art (true vulnerability & expression). Acting (my way to self actualization & furthest from my comfort zone). Photography (my vision & how I see the world). Writing (my true voice, therapy, rawness and power). Reading (my joy of knowing I am not alone with the way I think). Dancing (it makes me smile & the expression through the body I crave). Music (it's the soundtrack to my life & help create my mindset). Andy Warhol. Picasso. Dali'. Robert Rauschenberg. Gregory Colbert (ashes and snow). Photoshop (my playground). Film (fastinating from every aspect). Film Directing (my interpretation, vision & opportunity to pull the unknown out of people). The whole art and process of making a film. Architecture (modern/ancient). Metaphysics (a must know to understand how to get to the next level). Philosophy (All the greats got it & explained it to us). Psychology (nothing more powerful then the human mind, master it). The Bible (it has all the answers we seek & how to create our mindset). Roman & Greek history (the true empires & great to learn from their mistakes). Motorcycles (pure rush, bliss & so meditative). The law of attraction (greater understanding of you & how your life is the way it is). Human nature (intriguing). Success through Authenticity (the ultimate goal).

I'd like to meet:



Myspace Layouts - Religious Myspace Layouts
Myspace Codes - Myspace Generators - Myspace Backgrounds
In all honesty at this point in my life I just want to meet incredible, inspiring characters that don't live their life in the rat race of our human society. I would LOVE to meet The Dalai Lama first and foremost. As for others I would like to meet.....it would definitely have to be any one and all of the professionals that were on the movie, The Secret. A conversation with any one of them would be heaven for me. I would also love to meet one of the few women I admire, Angelina Jolie. She's amazing and represents so much to me. She lives her life so authentically, honestly, and so human. She is a creature from another world that is beautiful from the inside out. Angelina truly represents positive transformation and I believe that is what this world is all about. On a different note, I would love to spend a day on set with each one of my 6 favorite film directors: Steven Soderbergh, Alesandro Gonzalez, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Fernando Meirelles, and Steven Spielberg. That would be AMAZING. Then pretty much any artist that move's me I would love to have a conversation with. I love the creative, intellectual, spiritual mind. That is what makes me curious and have a desire to meet someone. On a side note...with my new ventures in life...I would love to meet, work with, heal and help guide Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and any other celebrity who is dying on the inside.
