All that we are is a result of what we have thought. - The Buddha

About Me

I'm rather boring, but I promised Eliza*Lou that I would do this, so here I am. :p My days consist of ambulances, clinicals, classes, fire training, or Dharma study. Most of my on-line time is spent on Live Journal, eBay or DLB's 'board. :) I try and answer all my email, but sometimes it takes me a couple of days. I'm addicted to LUSH bath products. I'm a RN-ANP, specializing in Women's Health/Midwifery, but I decided that wasn't for me, so I became an Aircraft Rescue Firefighter and Paramedic working within the fire service at an international airport, and now I am happy. Very, VERY happy. I'm currently working on becoming a Surgical PA, practicing in Trauma Surgery. I strongly believe in organ donation, and when I can, I volunteer with the TRC of MD as a surgical specialist. I own and ride Louie the Wonder Horse. I try to find beauty in everything. I like to see things through the eyes of others. I'd much rather talk about you than me. I may not always comment, but I read everything.
