About Me

Quiet by nature, but I tend to talk more once I get to know a person. I have many interests and a few hobbies, but overall I like to help people and connect with others. That's a good portion of why we come into life...mainly to evolve, but along the way, to be a light to others. It's a day wasted when you haven't helped someone in some way, and most often, it's the little things that mean the most.
I guess you could say that I am more spiritual than religious. I believe that everyone must find their own truth. I love to read books about spirituality, reason for life, parapsychology, and even Gnostic Christianity. Sometimes I like to share the knowledge that I gain...not to convert, but to help open minds to the fact that God is indeed all loving and doesn't ever let anyone fall away from the Light forever. He/She loves everyone unconditionally...those who are good, bad, believe, or choose not to believe. We are all loved equally. And we all have a specific purpose in God's wondrous plan.
I love art. And I have managed to teach myself a bit about graphic design. It's pretty fun. I suppose I like it because I can be creative, and at the same time, am able to support and help others with it. If you want to see some of the stuff I've done, check out the gallery. I also have always loved to take pictures, ever since I was young, so I hope to start learning more about photography soon as well!
Another hobby of mine, which I don't do enough of, is cooking and baking. I find it really interesting and fun. I just love to search for and collect recipes (even though I might not ever even cook half of them)...and most of all to make things for others...especially sweets of all sorts.
About where I live. When I first came to Modesto, I was a bit judgmental about it. Thinking it was no fun and mostly full of older people and farmland. But I have found that there is good in every place, if you take the time to look. I've met many amazing people here and have wonderful friends. It is full of extremely talented musicians and artists of all kinds. I am quite thankful that God has put me here to help open my eyes to more than what I was willing to see at first. There absolutely is beauty in everything...if you choose to look for it.
And to end this really long description about me, I am by no means perfect, I have my own obstacles that I deal with every day, but I also know that life is a journey and the hardest thing you have to do is climb the mountain of self. So I find it a good thing to try and understand that we are all fighting a hard battle, that which, in the end, makes us brighter and stronger. And I hope it wouldn't be too much to ask for you to remember the same.
