Life's a Journey not a Destination

About Me


My friends will tell you that I talk a lot, I'm wonderfully weird & that I love kids & animals. But dig a little deeper you will find I have a whole lot more to offer. I am a unique spirit who thrives on individuality, I don't want to be like everyone else-I just want to be me. I grew up with a passion for animals, interior design, the ocean, travel & adventure. My love for animals shows in that I have owned 5 dogs, 5 hamsters, 5 guinea pigs and a bird; I worked as a volunteer for a wildlife rescue center; I have raised a few sets of orphaned baby rabbits, helped find homes for friends pets they can no longer have and of course pick up strays all the time! I am constantly in decorating mode---I rearrange & redecorate my house all the time and since I am a Realtor I am always evaluating every house I go into; I am also addicted to most home improvement shows & love design magazines. I lived in Hawaii (Air Force brat) and fell in love with the ocean you couldn't get me out of the water! I learned to Scuba Dive in 1995 and plan on diving around the planet before I leave it; I love to travel (I have lived lots of places) and want to see the whole world-that's not too tall of an order is it!?!?! I do love an adventure: I'm not one to shy away from a challenge or a daring risk I have been known to scuba dive, sky dive, rock climb, zip line, bungee jump & high rope in a tree, oh and I have 4 tattoos (for now.) I live for the moment as you never know when it will be your last. I started a new job in the fall of 2007 working with home furnishings & design--I'm super excited over the new work! I was a professional Realtor for 7 years & I worked with my parents on a team. I also still work for the St. Louis Rams (during season) for a fun part-time job where I get to meet lots of interesting people (I'm a Concierge for the Suites) and I have been a volunteer wish granter for the Make A Wish Foundation since 1999 (I love kids!) and work in the nursery at my church. Make A Wish is awesome & I love my job, I get to go out & actually meet the kids at their homes & find out what their wishes are & then help make them happen!

***You can't be all things to all people. You can't do all things at once. You can't do all things equally well. You can't do all things better than everyone else. Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.*** So: You have to find out who you are, and be that. You have to decide what comes first, and do that. You have to discover your strengths, and use them. You have to learn not to compete with others, Because no one else is in the contest of being YOU!*** Then: You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness. You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions. You will have learned to live with your limitations. You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due. And you'll be a most vital mortal.*** Dare To Believe: That you are a wonderful, unique person. That you are a once-in-all-history event! That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are. That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish. And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.***
You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you are the same
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.

Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick What American City Are You?

I'd like to meet:


My Soul Mate---do you know him? ; ) I would love to meet Marilyn Monroe (in the afterlife of course!) People who can make me laugh, smile and are up for adventure. I love to hear about peoples travels, life stories (esp. the funny ones!) and peoples passions-that's a great glimpse into someone's soul. I really appreciate peoples individuality & uniqueness as our "quirks" are what make each of us special. I also look for people with a lot of character, who stand up for what is right & what they believe in. I tend to gravitate towards people who are expressive, artistic, unique & authentic to themselves.

Which Marilyn Monroe Are You?
Congradulations! You are Marilyn Monroe's Sexy Side!"That's the trouble, a sex symbol becomes a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something, I'd rather have it sex than some other things we've got symbols of."You are smart and sassy and you know what you want in life. You are proud of who you are despite what anyone else says. The downside is that like in the case of Marilyn Monroe, you may be overlooked by others - or seen only for your beauty. These effects don't last long with a strong woman though ^.~

Music:


I like a little bit of almost everything... I love being introduced to offbeat music that the mainstream doesn't know about...Erin's great for that! : ) I love watching live music performed.
I can't wait for Blake Lewis to put out an Album this year! Loved his performances on American Idol, can't wait for tour (Aug 9th!) & have some of his original music as well as AI songs on my i-pod...Awesome!!!

Movies:

Comedies, Romantic Comedies, Thrillers-I like to be scared but not grossed out (no Horror thank you!)

Television:



adopt your own virtual pet!I love my TIVO! I watch design/home improvement shows, Friends, LOST, American Idol (ok I'll admit it, my mom & I go to the concerts!) Surface(I can't believe its not coming back!), Desperate Housewives, Medium, Las Vegas, Sex in the City, the Girls Next Door & Designing Women (to name a few favs.) I have really gotten into a couple of spooky shows: "Ghost Hunters" (the company is called TAPS) and "Dead Famous: Ghostly Encounters" and my new fav. is Meerkat Manor (all about the Whiskers family-Love it! I just named my new guinea pig after my favorite little Meerkat, "Shakespeare")

Books:


I read Anne Rice, Stephen King, Dean R Koontz to thrill me; I also read a lot of inspirational books-too many to list but a fav. is Hinds Feet On High Places. I recently read my first Dan Brown book "Angels & Demons" and was so hooked 1 night I stayed up all night reading so I guess I will be getting more of his. I also love poetry & even write my own stuff, well... when I'm feeling inspired.

Heroes:

I look to God & Jesus first. I admire my parents. I respect Mother Teresa, Princess Diana and Oprah (I'm sure there are a lot of others, too.) And I love Marilyn Monroe-so misunderstood. I also admire anyone serving in our armed forces-it is because of people like them that we have our freedom.
