To kiss well one must kiss solely. No groping hands or stammering hearts. The lips and the lips alone are the pleasure. Passion is sweeter split strand by strand. Divided and re-divided like mercury then gathered up only at the last moment.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Buddha

What people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.
Isn't she just precious? My wolf-sable angel love YODA!

My Interests

Helping out relief orgs, taking care of my Pomeranian puppy Natalie Yoda, having random “chichi” times with my girls, date nights with my sweetie, long phone calls or YM sessions with my little sis and bro, reading anything and everything, shoe-shopping, shopping for anything even in the grocery, love cooking and baking (Jimmy says I’ve become top chef-like at it, woot woot), Pilates, praying, singing karaoke and dancing, new adventures, new people and new destinations!

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."

i love my baby pup yoda!

feel the sun shine!

I've waited for you all my life.

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
