Everything Always Works Out Just Perfectly!

About Me

"So long as a man imagines he cannot do something, so long as he is determined not to do it, then it is impossible for him to do it." author unknown
"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free." Leo Buscaglia
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."

"Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones." -unknown
"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."
--Anais Nin (1946) The Diary of Aunt Nin, Vol 4 (1973)
You are not here to live up to my fantasies of romance or to make my life worthwhile. I am not here to satisfy your expectations or give you a reason to live. We each search our own meaning and build our own inner worlds.
I will share mine with you and will be mindful of your inner world so that when you UNZIP YOUR HEART TO ME, I will walk with awareness into that place......
You should be an answer to my dreams not my fantasies.
We will not be perfect with one another. We may be insensitive and unaware some of the time. It doesn't mean that we are not right for each other; it only means that we are human.
"Begin With The End In Mind"
"DO NOT GO WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD, GO INSTEAD, WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL." ~Emerson
"Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different." Katherine Mansfield
"To change one's life: 1. Start immediately. 2. Do it flamboyantly. 3. No exceptions." – William James
"Be who you are. Say what you feel.Because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Unknown
"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly." -Henri Bergson
"Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him." Aldous Huxley
"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security." Gail Sheehy
"Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments, but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures." – Joseph Addison
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle

My Interests


"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

You Are a Prophet Soul
You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone.
Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people.
Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run.
No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way.

You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle.
Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings.
A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning.
You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer.

Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einsten

Shasta Poem- By Brandon and Mark for ME
Shimmering lumination of a powerful light,
smiling child, a tower so bright.
Healer of spirit, energetically artistic,
Helpful & caring who's beauty is mystic.
Astronmical sign of a cosmic dream,
Ample generosity, Love & Truth is her theme.
Sharing & giving, presense wildly glowing
Selfishly blind to predjudice not showing.
Tremendously strong, believer of visions,
Touched by God, faith driven mission.
Aggressive dancer, moving w/ soul
Arrowsingly original, her love makes her whole.

...........MY THOUGHTS ON LOVE..........
Everything always works out the way its suppossed to in the end... so take a chance, its NOW or NEVER... LOVE DEEPLY AND HONESTLY WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART.... IT MIGHT HURT LATER, BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY!!!
If YOU don't take a chance on the other hand, you'll never know, and you will forever question...It's okay to take risks when following your heart.... what's the worst that could happen? You find out that its just not the right person for you, you hurt for a little while, get over it, and you become a stronger person????
....Or maybe this person turns out to be THE ONE...?!?!?! Who know's right?!?!
But if you're in a position where your head over heels and flying by the seat of your pants, don't give up on LOVE..... Take a chance! See what happens.... Maybe you live happily ever after!?!?!?
Wouldn't that be awesome!!?!?!
Just remember in all of this, if you listen to nothing else I say... Follow your HEART. Listen to your Intuition, and ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU.... That way you wont have any regrets...
I have been in some shitty relationships, where i wasn't treated right in the end, but in EVERYONE OF THEM, I can walk away with pride and holding my head high, because I did my BEST, was always HONEST, and TRUE to myself and to the person I was with! I never molded or changed myself(in a way that I would lose respect for myself) for another person....
So fuck it! Hang on and enjoy the ride...Even if it doesn't work out in the end, its the JOURNEY that matters, NOT JUST THE ENDING!
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you'll know exactly what to do."
Michelle Ventor
Please note: I DO NOT ADD RANDOMS. If I don't know you, then make sure you "get to know me" a little bit before making a friend request. No offense to anyone. I just don't want real to get washed away by fake..... Thanks for understanding.....
Totally open minded and love making new friends, BUT if you are drama, and you think lying and/or being drama is fun, Move on. I have no interest in those sorts of things.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I do believe it is possible to create, even without ever writing a word or painting a picture, by simply molding one's inner life. And that too is a deed."Etty Hillesum
Shasta= Very intelligent, broadminded and a good listener. You are an ideas person, with a wonderful creative imagination who is always seeking practical applications to apply this to. Your intelligence means that you have great potential for business success if you can apply some discipline and caution. You enjoy sensual pleasures and with a natural restless nature and liking for adventure life is rarely dull with you around.

Music:

I love ALL music; Metal, Techno, HOUSE, Hip Hop, Classical, Jazz, Lounge, 80's, Country, Rock, Electro, Oldies, Trip Hop....... You name it, I probably like it. I am very open minded...... From Slip Knot, to Portis Head, to Tim McGraw, to Miguel Migs, Benassi Bros, Jen Lasher, and Federico Aubele. I Love lots of non-maistream music. I LOVE MUSIC AND ESPECIALLY LOVE TO DANCE!!!!

I can't ever just listen to one category of music. Any type of music can get boring and repetitive after a while.
Do not put me in a box- Try to categorize who I am- For no one Will truly know Me Nor ever Fully Understand. Forever changing-Learning-Growing-Far beyond What you Will ever know. I admit Even I have difficulty Keeping up With how I grow. Each day brings new insight. To see a deeper me. To try to see my soul. And be the best me, That I can be. I dig deeper every day. Some days hang my head In shame. Humbled by this life. There is no one else to blame. I try to see myself. Blunt And Honestly. Looking at my faults To change. So I can Like Everything I see. I know I am not perfect-I know I still have faults- I still hold My head high Because I do know Full Well The path I'm on.In the right direction-In light-With love-And hope-I see the world with optimism.The best me-The NEW me-Every day-I WILL Become.....

Books:

Anything by James Patterson, Celestine Prophecy Series, The Seat of the Soul, Anything by Dr. Dyer, Soul Stories, anything spiritual, or about health, nutrition, and personal growth. Books that make me take in a wider, deeper view of the world. Inspirational Quotations and random thoughts. I love to read.

Heroes:

Any one dares to be themselves....No fronts... No fakeness.....No bullshit....Just being their honest, true self. That kind of courage is to be adored in a world so filled w/ superficial, materialistic, nonsense.
Good Times With Good People Are ALWAYS A MUST!!!
