About Me


-------------

I enjoy the more natural realms of life, the small things like fresh air and beautiful skies. Beauty in all of its wondrous shapes takes my breath away. As the years pass I see beauty as the foundation I look to for creative insight in all aspects of life. Right now is an amazing time, school is giving me the focus and discipline that I envisioned for myself for so long. The shedding of fears and old ways of thinking/believing/acting has become a reality and at times when it seems overwhelming to be changing, I realize that this new sense of self is the real me, to live in the moment, without anxiety of tomorrow, just living in it and realizing the universe grants us what we ask for. We must believe it will manifest, must ask, and it will be produced. Such a powerful way of thought, transforming really.

My Interests

anything that gets me out in nature, hiking especially, yoga, writing! writing! writing! photography, art, cooking, my dogs, gazing in wonder at how this world works each and every day!, finding deep, honest, spiritually aware people who love the same things I do, full moon gatherings, BRC, alternative medicine, healing arts, food, eating, the energetics of food, vegetables, the moonlight, and that warm feeling of the first days sunlight hitting my face.

I'd like to meet:


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -- Marianne Williamson

Music:

I love music! We own over 2,000 albums. Hard beats, soft beats, breaks, and bass that makes your head explode, women lyricists, real hip hop, classic rock, downtempo, ambient, random 80's and 90's pop/rock, and everything in between.

Heroes:

My dad because he was such a superior human being. His grace and wisdom still speak to me even now, he was just awesome! If all men could be the type of father my dad was, countries wouldn't need bombs to solve their problems.
