About Me

There is so much I am learning about myself that words cannot describe. Actually, words can describe it, but I would have to stop working and write a novel about it. Plus, it is work in progress. I am discovering something new about myself everyday and trying to learn interesting things from everyone.

My Interests

Laughing, dancing, reading, eating, traveling and sharing

I'd like to meet:

Anyone passionate about anything! Art, music, dancing, food, books, travel, outdoor adventures, politics, humanity, philosophy, cultures, anything! I want to share ideas with people who are warm hearted, open minded, interesting, energetic, inspiring and funny! Everyone has some passion that they can learn to unleash and sometimes it takes that one person to help move you and step out of the comfort zone...

Music:

I adore classical music and the rhythmic beats of world music. I'm currently listening to Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Coldplay, Buddha Bar collection, Chill Out in Paris, Hotel Costes

Television:

Anything educational

Books:

Eat, Pray, Love, The Geography of Bliss, and Tuesday's with Morrie. I'm also currently reading Three Cups of Tea, The inner teachings of Taoism, Prisoners of Our Thoughts, and Tantra

Heroes:

There are endless sufferings in this world and not enough people who have the heart to want to make a difference. If we can give hope and a little bit of love to those who are suffering or underprivileged, then that would be fulfilling enough. We all have to take responsibility for humanity. My heroes are people who like to make other people smile. People who try to find the goodness in humanity. I have a special place in my heart for compassionate and loving people... It starts with YOU. Do something different today and reach out to someone, give them a hug and tell them how much you appreciate them. Smile and say hello to a transient. Help the elderly if you see them unable to help themselves. Think about your actions and its consequences. If you can do this, then you will be someone's hero.

Genuine Smile

Does a smile reflect happiness and contentment?  Not necessarily.  A real smile is not located in the lips or any other part of the mouth.  A real smile is in the eyes.  To be ...
