"If you want to know my identity, don't ask me what I do or where I work. Rather, ask me what kind of person I am becoming or how I'm fulfilling my purpose in life." ~Author UnknownI am originally from the Bay Area, born in San Jose and raised in Palo Alto/Stanford to be exact. I went to Escondido Elementary School in Stanford, Las Lomitas and Hillview Elementary Schools in Menlo Park, Terman Jr. High in Palo Alto and then Henry M. Gunn Sr. High in Palo Alto. I moved to the Central Valley due to a job offer for the Probation Department in December of 2003. I love it out here, and would not change it for the world! I am currently in school working on a degree in Criminal Justice/Human Services/Psychology. I have an extensive background in the customer service/hospitality industry, juvenile justice/corrections, psychiatric care and case management. Within my aspirations lies an extreme desire to achieve a Psy.D ~ ~ however long that might take. I love life and all it has to offer, and believe that everyone has a certain meaning here on Earth. College Avenue ~ Palo Alto, California ~ I grew up here! Mom worked at Stanford University ~ I used to go visit her everyday after school. She would take me to Tresidor Union Cafeteria for strawberry icecream, and then we'd go to the Stanford bookstore -- I loved that place! We would then ride bikes home together -- rain or shine. GO STANFORD! YEEEAHHHHH!!

Missing you is my necessity, alive in hopelessness since you no longer come around. I survive by pure anxiety, with a knot in my throat, because I cannot stop thinking about you. Little by little my heart is losing the faith... losing voice... save me from forgetfulness... save me from solitude... save me from being afraid... I have done your will... save me from forgetfulness... save me from the dark... save me from being afraid...... don't ever let me fall.... save me... save me...

What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget.
You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.
You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you.
Your near future is all about change, but in very small steps. The end of the journey looks far, but it's much closer than you realize.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul What's your inner Faerie?
You are a faerie of the flame. You tend to lose your temper at the littlest thing, hot-headed. You're a loyal friend to those who can understand your raging moods. You're social though claim not to be. You are no one else but yourself and sometimes you try to hard to be just that. You're a passionate friend, and would do almost anything for those you care for.

My Interests

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great." ~ Mark Twain

Sobrevivo por pura ansiedad, con el nudo en la garganta y es que no te dejo de pensar. Poco a poco el corazon va perdiendo la fe...perdiendo la voz... salvame del olvido... salvame de la soledad... salvame del hastio ... estoy hecha a tu voluntad... salvame del olvido... salvame de la oscuridad... salvame del hastio......no me dejes caer jamas.

Beautiful blue eyes of my precious SimbakittyTo understand a cat, you must realize that he has his own gifts, his own viewpoint, even his own morality.~Lilian Jackson Braun"Until one has loved an animal, part of one's soul has not been awakened." ~Author Unknown "Sometimes we think that to develop an open heart, to be truly loving and compassionate, means that we need to be passive, to allow others to abuse us, to smile and let anyone do what they want with us. Yet this is not what is meant by compassion. Quite the contrary. Compassion is not at all weak. It is the strength that arises out of seeing the true nature of suffering in the world. Compassion allows us to bear witness to that suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear; it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, and to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal. To develop this mind state of compassion...is to learn to live, as the Buddha put it, with sympathy for all living beings, without exception."~Sharon Salzberg~

I'd like to meet:

People I would like to meet are Banjamin Bratt -- he is the sexy hunk on Law and Order and the prison movie, "Blood In, Blood Out: Bound by Honor." I would also like to meet the lead singer from Three Doors Down and AJ from the Backstreet Boys. On a serious level, Plato and Socrates.As for who I would like to meet for companionship, I would like to meet a man who is secure in his own skin and possesses ability to be self-sufficient. I would like for him to be kind, considerate, loving, respectful and understanding. I appreciate a man who is independant, while at the same time enjoys being cottled and cared for. I also love a man who is just as crazy about cats and dogs as I am! *Smile* =^,,^= In regards to friendships in general, anybody who is sincere, and has the ability to value the simplicities in life witout the materialism.I am a firm believer in that all relationships have their ups and downs, and that in order to be successful in any relationship; be it a friendship or a boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife relationship, there needs to be open lines of communication. With that being said... I hope to chat with you soon! :o)HOW SEXY IS THAT! AAAAAAAHHHHHH....AJ FROM BACKSTREET... GOTTA LOVE THE BADBOY LOOK... AAAAAAAAAHHHHH.....THEN WE HAVE THE SIX-PACKS! AAHHHHHH! RICO SUAVE!

Music:

I love jazz, alternative rock, salsa music, latin pop, Christian pop, some R&B and country. My favorite bands are Three Doors Down, Lifehouse, Train, 12 Stones, P.O.D., Backstreet Boys (yes, a teeny-bopper group, but I love 'em anyways!), Fuel, Audio Slave, Pearl Jam, Bad Company, Bo Bice, Evanescence and Staind. In the Latino realm of music, I like Luis Fonsi, Chayanne, Grupo Niche, Shakira, Camilo Sesto, Eros Ramazzoti, Laura Pausini, La India, Gloria Estefan, etc..."We can help a person to be herself by our own willingness to step ourselves temporarily in her world, in her private feelings and experiences. By our affirmation of the person as she is, we give her support and strength to take the next step in her own growth." ~ Author UnknownAll my friends need to check out Transport - CLICK HERE
"The Real Thing"by Bo Bice...Every word I say I mean it. Every single day I feel it. But sometimes when you talk it’s obvious you want to show it, so don’t blow it. Tell me what we got, tell me it’s a lot, tell me it’s the real thing. Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that’s a good thing, it’s a good thing. Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait, tell me that you want the same things as me. Tell me that it’s fate driving me insane, tell me it’s the real thing that keeps me hanging on. I can read the signs between us, and I feel its inside when you come nearer, there’s a stillness in the air like no one else is there, and every moment stays in the moment. Tell me what we got, tell me it’s a lot, tell me it’s the real thing. Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that’s a good thing, it’s a good thing. Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait, tell me that you want the same things as me... tell me that it’s fate driving me insane.“You will never be mine no matter how hard I try; you will never be mine no matter how hard I cry.” ~ Author UnknownI miss you when something good happens, because you are the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you are the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry, because I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when I lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other; for those were some of the best times of my life.

Movies:

I love movies like The Chronicles of Narnia, Lady In the Water, The Lion King, White Oleander, Blood In-Blood Out: Bound by Honor, The Diary of a Mad Black Woman, ET, War of the Worlds, Pretty Woman (gotta love the chick flicks!), Training Day, Gone with the Wind, Love Story, Memoirs of a Geisha, Joy Luck Club, etc. AWESOME MOVIE!

Television:

Law and Order, CSI, Primer Impacto, Spanish Soap Operas, Prison Break, etc...

Books:


You scored as C.G. Jung. You are more of a spiritualist than would be immediately apparent. Some of your notions are questioned by the cynical, but deep down you know the human consciousness is more than the flesh and tissue can account for. You tend to take a scientific observationist look on matters the average person wouldn't even begin to analyze. You personally are responsible for most of the ideas that are floating around in modern psychologist's/psychic's paltry little skulls. On the down side, you tend to be associated with that asshole Freud.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ because without Him my life would be a termoil. I also admire our military personnel for being so courageous in the fight for freedom.Having a career agenda is nothing without a spiritual agenda to back it up. Good plans and good intentions are a part of getting ahead, but it's not so different from whipping up a cake and finding there's no oven to bake it in. We are not one dimension, or two - we are three dimensions: body, mind and spirit. Only a very foolish person believes you can develop one part and ignore the others. Balance is important - perfect balance. It is the only way we do anything, because without it we fall flat on our faces. So why plan on the sky being the limit when there's no idea what the Spirit it. Cool and suave it isn't, solid as gold it is. ~JOHN ROSS, CHEROKEE CHIEF.. http://www.camemorial.org/..Remember the ChildrenChildren are not small bits of clay to mold and model in some careful way. Children are people, small people to love, the sweetest of blessings God sends from above. To cherish and watch over, to laugh and play with, to hold in our arms after each ending day. Each child is a miracle, the answer to one's prayers, for the heart of a child has the love of God there! ~Author Unknown http://www.childhelp.orgChildren Learn What They Live (2005)If a child lives with criticism, he learns to feel discouraged. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to feel angry. If a child lives with violence, he learns to feel afraid. If a child lives with dishonesty, he learns to feel suspicious. If a child lives with judgement, he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to feel ashamed. If a child lives with disorder, he learns to feel confused. If a child lives with disappointment, he learns to feel helpless. If a child lives with silence, he learns to feel lonely.BUTIf a child lives with protection, he learns to feel safe. If a child lives with honesty, he learns to feel trustful. If a child lives with peace, he learns to feel calm. If a child lives with sharing, he learns to feel thankful. If a child lives with understanding, he learns to feel encouraged. If a child lives with laughter, he learns to feel happy. If a child lives with creativity, he learns to feel inspired. If a child lives with choice, he learns to feel free. If a child lives with community, he learns to feel supported. If a child lives with accomplishment, he learns to feel confident. If a child lives with meaning, he learns to feel fulfilled. If a child lives with love, he learns to feel tender.WITH WHAT IS YOUR CHILD LIVING?~ Duen Hsi Yen"The hearts of little children are pure, and therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss." ~ Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa) OGLALA LAKOTASometimes adults think they know more than the children. But the children are closer to the truth. Have you ever noticed how quickly they can let go of resentments? Have you ever noticed how free they are of prejudice? Have you ever noticed how well the children listen to their bodies? Maybe adults need to be more like children. They are so innocent. The children pray to the Creator and trust that He will take care of them.Grandfather, today let the children be my teacher. ~Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa) OGLALA LAKOTAwww.savegriffin.com
