My Interests

**Being a mother to my beautiful daughter Madison Keala Wood***I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see-John Burroughs* *How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!-Emily Dickinson* *Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience-Ralph Waldo Emerson* I love to surf and could just lay on my board for hours in the ocean, I love to scuba dive and swim with the turtles, I love to snowboard, although it hurts quite a bit :) I love plays and watching other people's passions, I love camping and off-roading, I love the way the wind feels when I'm on a street bike, I love the way the rain feels as it trickles down my face, I love to laugh and just have fun..*Unbeing dead isn't being alive-e.e.cummings* I love to try new things and usually am up for anything, I LOVE to travel, I know no home.. I love falling asleep and waking up to Josh.. I love my daughters godparents and ALLL of her uncles and aunties!! :) Above all I love my *friends* because each and every one of them have a heart no one can touch and are ALWAYS there when anyone needs them, not just me, and that shows true devotion.. *Love is what you have been through with somebody-James Thurber*

I'd like to meet:


You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you awy from this world So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficultYou are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul , Prophet Soul , and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

Heroes:

My grandmother and grandfather, for putting up with all my craziness throughout life.. anyone who has taught me something I need to learn in order to grow and be comfortable with myself and anyone who can live life for the moment, not in the past (don't forget your mistakes, but don't dwell on them either) or worrying about the future.. that defeats the purpose of LIVING**
