Live Simply that others may Simply Live

About Me

I have a strong appreciation for the simple things in life. I have learned happiness is not based on materialism, but experiences. I am little quiet at first introductions, but after I warm up, I can be quite opinionated. I LOVE multiple perceptions on a single subject and honor other point of views.
I place a high value on helping others and spend a lot of time volunteering in the communities around me. My plan is to carry this humanitarianism to other countries and, in turn, learn their ways of healing and culture. Herbal healing and alternative healing are lifelong interests of mine.
I am here in Utah for medical training then, with my nursing degree,
I plan to relocate to a place with more trees :)

My Interests


Real Medicine

Morning Bliss

Giving
You are truly giving ONLY when you have no expectations of reward or recognition.

Sharing the whole world
BE the change you wish to see in the world!
Even the slightest modification in your lifestyle will make a collectively profound difference.

Personal Freedom!
No longer lend your strength
to that which we
wish to be free from.

Ying & Yang

I'd like to meet:

I find acts of kindness to be the most attractive quality of a person. The use of creative communication impresses me. I really enjoy being around healers, philosophers, creative writers, artists, geeks, hippies, activists and people who laugh a lot.

Where I like to be:

Walking in the Mornings

Blanketed by Silvery Fog

Playing in the Rain

Loosing Myself

Placing Footprints in the Snow

Each human relationship is a journey into your own being not measured by distance or time but by the depths of emotion you feel in your heart.- The Omano Prophecies

Music:

My music taste ranges from Fleetwood Mac to System of a Down. Depending on my mood. Sometimes I am "Peace and Love"... and other times I am "Down with Bush!!" :)

Television:

Television cannot compete with the abundance of natural beauty that surrounds you.

Books:

Sacred Scriptures, Journey of Souls, The AntiChristian-Nietzsche, Dweller on two Planets-Phylos the Thibetan, Eartway-Mary SummerRain, War between Monotheism & Polytheism...currently Angels and Demons...

Heroes:


Happiness is when
what you think,
and what you say,
and what you do
are in harmony.”
~ Gandhi

We don’t see things
as THEY are
We see them as WE are.

You may say that
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Finding Simplicity

I am very anti-materialistic. I have seen first hand how money ruins people, and how rough times bring people together. When I became aware that such a large portion of the world lives in poverty, I w...

You are the sum total of your own thoughts and deeds

If we could only actually see the negative effects that our adverse emotions and thoughts have upon our immediate surroundings, we would promptly change and reverse our ways. Be aware that every unspo...
