About Me


“In the face of adversity, uncertainty and conflicting sensory information, I hereby pledge to remain ever mindful of the magical, infinite, loving reality I live in. A reality that conspires tirelessly in my favor.I further recognize, that living within space and time, as a Creation amongst my Creations, is the ultimate Adventure, because thoughts become things, dreams come true, and all things remain forever possible.As a Being of Light, I hereby resolve to live, love and be happy, at all costs, no matter what, with reverence and kindness for All. So be it!”(www.tut.com)
"Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light."- Ramana Maharshi

*** The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer ***
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dreams for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful be realistic to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes."
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
THAT ABOUT SAYS IT ALL.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** PLEASE NOTE ~ I am about "quality" versus "quantity" regarding my friends, THEREFORE I WILL NOT ADD YOU UNLESS ** A) I KNOW YOU or 2) YOU SEND ME A MESSAGE.. spank you vedy much pour votre consideration... peAce ~*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind ~~ dr seuss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i would rather be hated for who i am than loved for who i am not ~~ kurt cobain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment ~~ ralph waldo emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ when we come to the edge of the light we know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, of this we can be sure ... either God will provide something solid to stand on or ..... we will be taught to fly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our LIGHT, not our darkness, that most frightens us. we ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? actually, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE? you are a child of god. you playing small doesn't serve the world. there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 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 light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~~ marianne williamson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star ~~ nietzsche ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ teaching women to be independent thinkers can be harder than teaching them how to give a blowjob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drumsound rises in the air, it's throb my heart. a voice inside the beat says, i know you are tired.. but come, this is the way. ~~ rumi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Interests

We are not here just to survive and live long... We are here to live and know life in its multi-dimensions to know life in its richness, in all it's variety. And when a man lives multi-dimensionally, explores all possibilities available, never shrinks back from any challenge, goes, rushes to it, welcomes it, rises to the occasion then life becomes a flame, life blooms.

BHAGWAN SHREE RAJNEESH

HOWEVER, all things being as they are, i DO have a thing for fitness mag's as well.. love the info and the pics.. great motivation...

Heroes:



my sister mary * osho * rumi * ghandi * buddha * goddesses * underdogs everywhere * those who quietly serve with no ego * teachers everywhere * melly * those, who despite the odds, KEEP UP and keep moving towards the light * and those who choose to live their life on THEIR terms, living their Truth.. now that's inspiriing to me in this world where so many of us are scared to do something 'different' or live outside of what mainstream society perceives as 'normal'.. whatever the hell that is... & if anyone else comes to mind, i shall let you know
