Hey everyone, leave me a gift! I love getting presents. Its fun! Lol. :)
this is from an essay i wrote a while ago:
I am bold but soft. I am vivacious yet subtle. I am the jack of all trades, master of....some. ;-) I am the author and illustrator of my Textbook of Life, although I am also the student. I am the queen of my own universe.
Life is so incredibly amazing. It is a word that embodies so much more than just the aspect of living. It is me, it is those whom I love and those whom I interact with. It is my environment, the earth, the sky, and the heavens. It is the force that drives the universe, and the energy that surges through all that IS. It is my emotions, my passions, the colors I see, and the colors I feel. It is perseverance, timelessness, and continuity.
I embrace life with a passion like the desert flower embraces the rain. At the pinnacle of that passion is Dance. I started dancing ballet at the age of six, and I knew then that dance was what I was meant to do for life. I've since expanded my world of dance to encompass much more than just ballet. I find great joy in learning the many different disciplines of dance, each with its own unique flavor and aroma. Above all I enjoy performing dance to an audience. I love to inspire, to provoke thought, or just to display a work of art that others can enjoy. It is my paintbrush and canvas, it is my voice without words. During my quest for dance I happened upon the Pilates Method. I found it so wonderful that I decided to pursue it in a manner which I can directly share with others, and so I became a Pilates instructor. Training in Pilates and learning proper body mechanics has really helped me enjoy another passion of mine: surfing. I discovered this activity through pure curiosity. What started as an act of spontaneity has grown to become such an important part of my everyday being.
My fuel for life is spontaneity, curiosity and inspiration. I seek, and I seek to inspire, whether it be inspiration for myself, or inspiration for others. Be spontaneous. Random acts can make life so much more interesting. It can be as simple as a sudden change of thought or ideas. I love to explore the unknown. I think curiosity sparks adventure, which sparks life. It has led me through many wonderful experiences and it has opened up my eyes, heart and soul to the world. It has helped me to understand that the roads in life are not always marked, and the beaten path is not always the correct one.
I have traveled the world, seen wondrous sights, experienced the divine, and met incredible people. Everyday I leave my home to teach, dance, surf, create, inspire, and live LIFE. Yet every night I return, and I will always still be ME.
