As Good As You Can Take It: That's As Good As It Gets

About Me


I am something of an ambitious and starry eyed dreamer. I don’t know my limits which can be positive and challenging. I want to believe that anything is possible and for the most part I do.

I’m fascinated by psychology and what makes people tick. Jungian Psychology blows my mind. I believe that we are spiritual beings on a human journey (somebody once said that and they were right) not the other way around. I spend a lot of time thinking about the nature of life. I’m convinced that people are inherently good – just a little lost; but we all do the best we can.

I’m into holistic healing. I like the philosophies presented in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in most Eastern thought in general. I consider myself to be a ‘Curious Buddhist’ – meaning that I practice Buddhism but have a love for all spiritual and religious traditions.

My life has been an interesting journey and I wouldn’t trade a single aspect of it in.

My Interests

Awareness, Kundalini Yoga, Thrift Stores, Nature, Jungian Psychology, Creative Expression, Fairy Tales, Energy, Questions, Spirituality, People, Working on my web pages, Reading, Romantics, Mythology, Gardening, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Experience, Religion, Tantra, Healing, Metaphor, Growth, Conversation, Education, Music, Astrology, Taking on new projects (and occasionally finishing old ones :-), Restorative Justice, Mindfulness, Chamomile Tea, Flower Essences

I'd like to meet:


“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles …” ~ Jack Kerouac

I am really just looking for friends; folks who are interested in similar subjects and like to grow and expand their minds. Don't be shy! Write me!

What's your personality like? (detailed +stylish banners)
Romantic/DreamerWell,don't you have quite an imagination? You're an idealist and posibly romantic,you also don't like when people set limits for you. Many people like you changed the course of history, but unfortunatedy you sometimes lack in the action department. If someone looked closely in your eyes they would see a rejection of the nowadays harsh world (that you might or might not noticed by now). Any level-headed person would advice you to come back to earth and stop missing important moments of life,but I'm advicing you to never give up your imagination,only use it to better the boring or rough parts of life!P.S: If you're willing,please take a look at my other results and if you feel that the quizz and I deserve it,rate!
