Teaching is demonstrating that it's possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.

About Me

I am a person discovering herself and her place in this world. I'm in love with living. I love my family and friends. They bring me so much farther then they know! I love to learn anything that can help me move in a positive direction. I love meeting people with a hunger for life and energy to pursue what makes them feel happy and fulfilled. It is one of the biggest joys for me to see individuals flourish in knowledge, accomplishments, and confidence in their own unique essence. I'm very grateful for the area in which I reside. Santa Cruz County is an amazing place to build a base of operation. This is a place full of inspirational people and natural beauty. Many subjects fascinate me, yet I have not found my niche, to my conscious knowledge. Im not a fan of politics in their current state(in part due to ungodly childhood horrors; Rush Limbaugh on AM radio everyday on my way to school!), but I do believe that everything in this world is specifically aligned and placed for the optimum growth of all... the belief in imminent evolution is the root of my optimism. I belive this is a process that we must be active and proactive in, for the good of ourselves and all others. For more... see blog titled "Philosophy a la me".

... They say it takes a minute to find a special person, An hour to appreciate them, A day to love them, But an entire life to forget them. This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor

Books:

I like speculation books, and books with spiritual content, no matter what type. Herbie Brennan, Steven Levitt, Betty Eadie, Graham Hancock, Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra . What I like to get out of books is a large spectrum of belief structures, so I can learn from each one, to avoid ignorance towards others' experiences. (Spiritually or otherwise.) I'm fascinated with history, and I try to learn as much as I can from as many different sources as possible. (Though most history is written by the reigning power of the day. In our case... Lockheed Martin a.k.a Rand McNally! Oh dear.) Some of the fiction writers I like include Dan Brown, James Redfield, Dan Millman, Paulo Coelho (Feeling lost in love? Read Eleven Minutes)and Dean Koontz. I'm not interested, for the most part, in fictitious literature.

Heroes:

How can one be so brilliant, hot and humorous? I don't have an answer, but Ze Frank is all I gotta say.... ..Democracy Now! The War & Peace Report - with Amy Goodman .. .... Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Harry Belefonte & Susan Serandon are amazing human beings.
