What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so. [John Boorman (b. 1933), British filmmaker. Projections, entry for May 16, 1991, eds. John Boorman and Walter Donohue (1992).]
A somewhat independent woman, A mom to 2 girls, A passionate, artistic spirit, a mind, a body and a soul. A seeker of knowledge and truth. A slight bit old fashioned with a new age twist. I believe morals, values and basic respect are essential for living life to its fullest potential.
I crave new experiences and try to make the best out of any given situation. I prefer to find the good in things and in people. I love to be right, but I also freely admit when I am wrong. I am always up for a good debate, but I don't like to argue. And, I really can’t stand a nasty filthy and or animal smelly house or animal hair on the furniture, or people who let their dogs jump around and sniff all over people... and I despise cats. They are scary creatures, and they are brats! They mind about as well as 2 year olds, and you can discipline them about as easy too! *sigh* Fish are great!
I cherish being a mom, baking cookies and singing silly songs, but I also love being an adult and enjoy time for myself and friends. I enjoy the simple things and the wild. Variance in everyday life is crucial, vast life experiences are essential to be truly educated. Things I want to do and have not done yet.. swim with sharks, and be a whale trainer so i can ski on it. Like THIS.. how fun would that be?!
I am one of the lucky few, who have been given a second chance at life, although my time is still cut short. A gift I refuse to waste. I have zero tolerance for insolence, judgments, drama, closed minds, deliberate ignorance, or crude behaviors. My biggest turn off is hypocrisy. I am so sick of "Praise God" "Show me your naked pics!". That kind of thing will get you deleted off my list faster than anything. And along those lines; If you’re looking for that kinda girl, you’re on the wrong page my friend.

U.S. Health care system sucs.. Everyone deserves medical care. This is my passion, my will and my drive. It needs to be changed.

"People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true."
“The lunatic is the man who lives in a small world but thinks it is a large one; he is the man who lives in a tenth of the truth, and thinks it is the whole. The madman cannot conceive any cosmos outside a certain tale or conspiracy or vision.” ...G. K. Chesterton
“You can bend it and twist it... You can misuse and abuse it... But even God cannot change the Truth.” ...Michael Levy quotes
“The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different - to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses”...John Fischer
“Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, 'Until you're twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve', and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.” ..Jennifer Lopez
“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

“I have lived no cloistered life and hold in contempt the wise man who has not lived and the scholar who will not share. There have been many wiser men than I, but few have traveled as much road. I have seen life from the top down and the bottom up. I know how it looks both ways. And I know there is wisdom and that there is hope.” ...L. Ron Hubbard
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed." ...Albert Einstein
