"Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in an acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and the highest vision of the soul a walking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities." (James Allen) "Career is what we are paid for...A Calling is what we are MADE for." When your Career and Calling Collide, life is satisfying!!

Ahhhh! I don't think I could live without music!! It's passion, it's bliss, it's illuminating, it's memories!!! I love music, I can appreciate, and Dance to pretty much anything. I LOVE oldies, jazz, latin, swing, blues, dance, telepop, techno, r&b...and all the other stuff. Some favorite females are: Tori Amos, Bjork, Sarah McClaklan. The Garden State, Great Expectations, Moulin Rouge and of course Dirty Dancing are my most favorite Sndtrks. These all take me into another world, it's intoxicating! I also love Hawaiian and reggae music. Some random favorite songs ever are: Lady in Red, Joyful Joyful, Cruisin' together, Brighter than Sunshine, Let Go....and my most favorite just might be, FLY ME TO THE MOON~! Dare you to Move and On Fire by Swtichfoot. I love La RUE!!! Great sound! I love Hillsongs worship music! And I absolutely LOVE CHRISTMAS music!!!! I'd sing it year round....sometimes I do! Ask my roommates!!! I was even Santa's lil helper for Halloween...wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and singing carols!!! Music is a perfect compliment to Life!!!! I hope I marry a musician!! Someone to sit at a piano or guitar and make beautiful music while I dance! Ahhh....Heaven on earth!
Dirty Dancing, Fool's Rush In, and the Count of Monte Cristo are my original favorites, and ever since I got back from Paris, MOULIN ROUGE is another Fave. Anything with Dancing, pirates, treasure and adventure are my kind of movie. Also, The Holiday, Elf, Dumb and Dumber ;) Frequency and Aladdin.... The Passion is the most moving, life changing movie I've ever seen. Everyone should see that at least once. I LOVE going to the movie theater! (but I hate the smell of buttered popcorn...ughh)
Anything on the Fashion and Travel channels. Some bible studies. Some reality TV shows are a guilty pleasure, like America's Next Top Model, and Project Runway. I don't watch TV regularly...so there's not one show I just HAVE to catch every week.... I love catching a great movie on TV!
I think everyone should read both Captivating and Wild at Heart....A-mazing!The Alchemist by Paulo Coleho. Anything by him you can expect great things, he's wonderfully poetic! This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti. Memoirs of a Geisha, Redeeming Love, I really enjoy Francine Rivers! The Bible! Reading has always been one of my favorite past times! I used to be the neighborhood librarian when I was young! I love living in Hawaii!!! It's great, almost any day of the year, you can take a book and go read on the beach, whether in your bikini or sweats...it's the best place to get lost in a great book! I feel closer to Heaven when I'm on the beach!
JESUS! What an awesome example of LOVE. His act of love really and truly Saved my life in every way! 'Majesty, forever I am changed by your love, in the presence of your MAJESTY!' If you need a reminder of what that act IS, watch the Passion, or pick up the bible! It's a Gift! A gift is not earned, it's given! MY SISTER MARIA who has revealed such strength and faith, she walked through the fire and came out stronger than ever. She has used what some people would have been broken by to make this world a better place, her story and her heart have helped many to heal! She's a real life hero!MY MOTHER. She has maintained such compassion and dignity. She's full of care and love... all that she's been through and yet she still gives of her time and of her heart so graciously! So much of who I am today, is because of the words that have come out of her mouth and for the unconditional love that has flowed from her heart. These are powerful women whom I call sister and mother. I am truly BLESSED!!!! MY FATHER KEN, who took not only my Mom as the love of his life about 20 years ago, but also her 4 chlidren and granddaughter and made them all his life. He was a Father to the Fatherless... the older I get, the more I realize just what kind of man that really takes..... he is definitely our hero. I love you dad, thank you.... .......These are my heroes!!
