About Me

Eloquence is a quality I greatly appreciate, but do not possess; so I will add some random thoughts and you can come to your own conclusion about me. I love all things that come from the heart. Happiness is unatainable and one should not strive for it. I love hot tea with milk on cool nights in a window seat with a good book. I enjoy the act of interpreting art to one's own meaning. I love the diverseness of cultures, and discovering new places. I appreciate a person who can practice what they preach. I love the feeling that comes from listening to great music, that feeling is indescribable and may be different for some; but you know it just the same. I relish the love of my family and humbly bask in the love of God. I love the feel of clay between my fingers. I love woodsy natural scents, candles and fresh flowers. I love to cook. I grasp any opportunity to be creative. I love to give; not for the purpose of recieving, not for the thanks, but just for the pure pleasure of it. I love to meet new people, so never hesitate.

My Interests

Historical novels; writing letters on quality stationery; finding beautiful places; endless, irresponsible time in an art studio; re-creating exceedingly expensive things from thrifty finds; long, deep, philisophical conversations

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who inspire me. But those people never know who they are because they rarely realize their own strengths and the effect they have on people. There arent celebrities or world leaders that interest me enough to know what to say to them if I met them, they are simply human beings like the rest of us; I wouldnt want to meet someone simply because of something I read about them in a magazine or newspaper because I dont trust the media. So, I guess it comes to this- I put a bit of myself into this page, if you want to meet me, introduce yourself!
