I am a woman who is on a journey to understand and see the goodness in this world. I have grown into a beautiful soul and I have love to share (enough for everyone). I am ambitious, sometimes funny, mostly serious, extremely creative, vulnerable, sensitive and often a lost little child. I believe that everyone has goodness inside of them and I will never judge anyone for their past mistakes. I am more interested in the human spirit than anything else. When I meet someone who is "real" I am charmed. I am in this world for one lifetime (as far as I know) and my dream is to surround myself with people who are real, not perfect, just real.
I believe that positive thoughts do yield positive results. I believe that action, even in uncertainty, can lead you to success. I believe that my body does respond favorable when I am sharing and receiving love and I know that I should pay attention when my body tells me it is overburdened with stress. I have found the hope that I needed and because of that I am excited to continue on my journey of connectedness and purpose. I am touched by this realization and so very happy that I have relinquished control and fear to the Universe. There is much more to learn but I know from the center of my being that I am on the right path and I have the right tools to move forward. I am on my way to finding love, or maybe it was right inside of me all along and it only needed permission to be set free.
I like to think that for every major change we embark on, a new bridge is built. Those bridges allow us to visit and go back to others who are moving slower in their growth. There may be several bridges connecting you with your friends and there may be times when others catch up and run past you. You may also have friends who are ahead of you, carefully constructing bridges for you to cross. Life is a journey and we can choose to travel alone or with others. I believe we all have a need to be near others, to connect physically, emotionally and intellectually. It is unrealistic to expect the same people to stay by your side on that journey; no two people take the same journey. But I am a believer in teamwork and I know that when we are all supporting the nourishment of our souls, the healing in our hearts and the dimensions of our minds, then we stand a greater chance at finding peace, love, and happiness. A world that is strong, compassionate, tolerant, and diverse has room for everyone.
My son is 15 and I am very proud of who he is as a person. I am raising him in a rather unorthodox way by throwing out the manuals and following his lead. I want him to learn that he can do anything he wants. Society has a way of trying to box us in and make us conform to a nicely packaged set of rules. While I still teach him to recognize the difference between right and wrong, I do not limit his ability to dream and reach for his dreams. He has a warm and compassionate heart and an unyielding capacity to dream. I have tried to remove the reinforced barriers that often stifle our children. Although it doesn't happen often, when people try to correct him or judge him I am quick to remind them that he is not broken.

Mindful awareness is the moment-by-moment of actively and openly observing one’s physical, mental, and emotional experiences. Mindful Awareness Meditation can help you handle excess stress in your life. There is substantial scientific proof that we each have the power to change our brains by activating adaptive circuitry through these techniques.
People don’t know what you are feeling unless you show them or tell them. And you can’t do that if you are tuned out to your own internal messages and are spending all of your time spinning a good image. So that is what I am working on these days, relearning the meaning of life outside of the black and white thinking or ego versus emotional choices and falling more in line with the fuzzy gray area where everything belongs and there is nothing wrong with indulging in a feeling or two or shedding a tear once in awhile.
