About Me


I'm 29 and love living in Fort Collins!
I have a phenomenal boyfriend that is the light and love of my life- he makes me so incredibly happy! His son is a sweetheart too (most of the time) and I love spending time with both of them whenever I can!
I'm still boxing with Paris Powell at FCC but it's truly just for conditioning now- no competitions.
That said, I also live at the Buddhist center in town which has been a wonderful experience so far. I love the quiet and the amazing sense of peace I get when I walk in the door. It's hard to imagine living anywhere else, but I'm sure I'll move on someday.
You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

I'm working on my MBA right now (which I'm getting via the Distance program at CSU- so now I have school to balance on top of everything else going on. I'll finish that up in the spring of 2009 and pick up the job title of project manager officially.
