My Interests

I'd like to meet:

What I want …… I want an authentic, honest, real and warm encounter which helps enrich both people involved. You can’t get away with talking about the weather with me. I will push you, love you, need you and shake you. I will fly under your radar, nibble on your heart&mind and settle in your life before you can put the barbed wire up. If you allow me to enter your life, expect to get in touch with the real, undiscovered parts of yourself. Expect to have fun, be surprised, be agitated, turned on, put off, laugh uncontrollably, be challenged, be angered and be loved!****************************************************** ********************* You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!" ~Eckhart Tolle

Television:

I watch some TV. Yes, and reality shows too. There's a 'judge' in all of us,which is why these shows are so popular.

Books:

Being a therapist and an art therapist makes me sort of a sucker for self-help and psychology books. Currently my favorite author is Doreen Virtue.

Heroes:

My heroes are people who have an extraordinary capacity to connect to others, a capacity to be a role model just by being who they are and facilitate change. People like Oprah, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Ataturk, etc.... People who have gone beyond their own little subjective world. People who became aware of things that are more than just eating, sleeping, fucking and spending money. Sometimes they are little heroes in our daily lives. And we know it when we meet a special person like that. This is one of my aspirations in life: being a source of light for people and myself. Sort of like letting the goodness of the world to come through me, without trying to own it or trying to turn it into gold. I might always be an apprentice in life, always practicing and moving forward in baby steps. Maybe that's not so bad. ;-)
