About Me

I love life and hate it at the same time. Sometimes I feel the pain of the world and it feels as though my heart will burst...but then love at first sight happens, my world becomes whole again and thru the pain and suffering I can find peace and hope to love and shine as Mo would have wanted me to. Where life will lead me I don't know but for now I'm surrounded by loving people who I love back and for that I am grateful. fantasy layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

My Interests

This journey I'm taking. Love, life, the sun, the blue sky, playing my violin, being on the lake, and writing...that every day I learn something else, that I'm getting what I want from this Universe despite how bad or good it feels...this world is my interest. "I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine." - Frederick Perls

I'd like to meet:

In general I would like to meet more kind-hearted, free-spirited people, but if I had to choose actual people, Lucille Ball and Cleopatra.

Music:

I love all genres but to me...real music moves you, moves your soul, makes you think and makes you feel emotions you never felt before.

Movies:

Amelie Karate Kid Pretty in Pink Days of Thunder Whats Eating Gilbert Grape Cruel Intentions Biography of Lucille Ball Mermaids Meet Joe Black

Television:

I Love Lucy Family Guy Without a Trace That 70's Show

Books:

Going On Being The Art of Zen Angels and Demons Lost Moonlight

Heroes:

Dorothy Harris, the strongest woman I've ever know and nobody taught me or loved me as much as she did. My Dad...the best guy in the world! Geoff Elliot...the most amazing and ambitious man, my soulmate and true love.

Best quote I've ever read

Between the lines

We're not so different.  Read between the lines because nobody has mastered the art of communication.
