Love to faults is always blind, always to joy inclin'd, lawless, wing'd, and unconfin'd, and breaks

About Me

I am believing.
I am living.
I am learning.
I am loving.
I am hurting.
I am healing.
I am growing.
I am finding.
I am creating.
I am waiting.
I am becoming.
I am eternally grateful for those who love me just because i am me, myself, and i...

My Interests

PEACE, my Redeemer, the cooky things He said and did, FREEDOM, quality time with quality people, Houston Craft Mafia, COFFEE (as an alternative to water), sunsets, star-filled skies, MUSIC, dancing, scissors, reading, writing, Indie Craft Revolution, FILM, treasure hunts, quaint cafes, the oh-so-soothing sound of rain, gypsy living, Austin, Texas, dancing in the rain, Alice in Wonderland, Ms. Hannagan, Sleeping Beauty, sequins, the sporadic generatiion of some scintillating "scandal" -simply to keep people on their toes, the feeling of my toes making love with the soft-grainy-sand, colorful coctails with clever names, recycling, repurposing, stimulating discourse with intelligent people, magazine clippings, baking cookies (not to mention, eating the dough!), children & the hysterical things they say, lounging in hammocks, learning as a life-long process, Colorado mountains, thrift stores, vintage boutiques, making lists (mmmm, that might be more of an obsession than an interest, per se), old hymnals, chandeliers, people who sparkle with razz mitazz pizzazz, almost anything that sparkles, historical sights/landmarks/monuments, porch swings, male peacock plumage, random (although, I don't really believe anything is truly random!) facts/trivia, dancing to the beat of the Drummer I hear, exploration and discovery of meaning/purpose/joy, did I mention CHOCOLATE? well, uh, ya, i am head over heels for a mean hot fudge sundae atop freshly baked brownies! and ROCK-N-ROLL, duh!I'm interested in so many things, but more than anything, I hope and pray that my interests will always lead me to LOVE. I want to always be courageous enough to love.

I'd like to meet:

people who value TRUTH and BEAUTY, PEACE and LOVE; people who truly care about people; people passionate about impacting the world in positive ways; other artists, craftivists and diy darlings who will not -under any circumstances- tolerate the dictation of what's hot and what's not by those **fill in the blank as you see fit** mainstream meanies;

singers, dancers, merry music makers; those who buy handmade; those who wanna support a new inde business venture, those who will share the glorious adventures of these forthcoming months...

Music:

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and charm and gaiety to life and to everything " - Plato

"Music is the shorthand of emotion" - Leo Tolstoy

"Music expresses that which cannot be said on which it is impossible to be silent" - Victor Hugo

Movies:

i love 'em! i miss watching 'em, but time ain't on my side at present.

Television:

Television, if used as the sole source for the lifelong education of a person, would produce nothing more than a simpleton. And you know, they say tv rots your brain like crack coccaine, but let's be honest now... who can resist DIY Craft Lab or the history channel when given the opportunity to rot away????

Books:

currently reading books on business & sewing

Heroes:

patient, kind, humble, rejoice with the truth, bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things. and my fairy godmother, Olga, of course!

Delightful Date Recorded In History
