Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

About Me


What can I say...I love life. Ups. Downs. It's all a part of it. My main goal right now? Mindfulness. What a concept. I want to focus more on living in the moment and actualizing what the moment beholds. Being aware of the present. Not judging, reflecting or thinking. Simply observing the moment in which I find myself...That would be ideal. :)

My Interests

Making jewelry (I love to twist silver with gemstone beads!), gardening, watching movies, playing with my two beagles, Taylor and Ruby, going on walks, anything crafty...

I'd like to meet:

An inspiration.

Music:



My sister Janell's music is my favorite! She rocks. ( Tomi comes in a close second). You can go to both of their MySpace music pages and listen for yourself! Other than that... I really like a lot of different stuff. Classics (Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead. Bob Marley), Jack Johnson, Girl stuff (Norah Jones, Sarah Mclaughlin), as well as anything I can dance to!

Movies:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Dazed and Confused, The Sound of Music, Grease, Fear and Loathing, Bring It On, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Frequency, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pulp Fiction, Say Anything, Something About Mary, In Her Shoes, Green Mile, The Notebook, The Patriot, The Wizard of Oz, Walk the Line, Bugs Life, Remember the Titans, Mean Girls, Garden State, Goodwill Hunting, Dirty Dancing, American Beauty...

Television:

I watch a variety of stuff--mostly on HGTV, MTV, E!, OPB, CNN, DIY, Animal Planet...

Books:

No time for reading.
Just going.
Go Dog Go.

Heroes:

I think we all have a little "hero" in us. My husband is my hero because of his great dedication to volunteering in his community. My sister is my hero because she has the most amazing spirit that just shines. In a way, I am my own hero... I try to conduct myself in a way that makes me very happy to be me! :)
