Just poken along this journey called life...

About Me

You need to know me...I'm trying to figure out what I want out of life. I have an idea and living it is a challenge but worth the effort. I'm in a state of simplifying my life and everything in it. Getting my priorities in order and taking care of things I value most, my family, my dogs, my job and my friends. I want to be a better daughter to my parents, a better mother to my dogs, a better architect, and a friend that my friends can depend and rely on. I don't have the time or patience to add to this list unless your friendship is worthwhile and meaningful enough to impact my life in a positive manner. I don't want any more stress added to my already complicated life. My brain already works overtime producing too many thoughts as it is. It's 30 hour a day job just to control those. If you feel you can contribute, come forward, step up to the damn plate and say something. Don't expect me to find you. I don't go to people, they come to me. Mostly the dirt and dust from society of course.
I feel strangled by society (my next tattoo project, ask me about it) and I am untangling myself from it's tight grasp so that I can fly free. "You are free to move about the cabin." Traveling is my passion and I miss it. I am in the process of planning my next few adventures. If you have any ideas or know of some great places to visit that aren't widely known about, please do share. A future goal is to eventually hike The Appalachian Trail from Maine down to Georgia at one time. It will be a 5 to 6 month journey of self reflection and I am looking forward to it. So no adventure is too much or too little. Hell, I think Arizona and the Big Apple (that's New York if you didn't know) is coming up soon on the list. Blog posts to come soon.
Change is inevitable. Cherish it. Wallow in it. Enjoy it. Grow from it. I don't let people get in the way of what I want. I'm straight forward and will tell the truth even if it hurts me. I'm an extremely courageous and wise person when it comes to my needs and dreams. No one gets in my way. I am a strong independent woman who does not need or answer to Anyone. I will learn to do without. It might hurt a little but that's how I became the woman I am today and I'm not afraid to step out of the box and grow some more. It's learning how to do without the things you want that let's you enjoy and be grateful for the things you have. I'm in a state of limbo and feeling a little numb at the moment. I will awaken soon. Those feelings fade. It all passes with time.

I'd like to meet:

I believe in complimenting a person to make them and myself better in the sense that we are able to be independent yet co-exist on our journey through life in any type of relationship. They should make you try to be the best person you can be. Someone who is not afraid to have a conversation about the things they don't really want to talk about. Step up to the plate and face your fears. Acknowledge that life is hard, but respect those around you and their time. People who recognize a good thing and aren't afraid to feel. Time is a valuable thing. Don't waste it or other people's time on piety insignificant things. Especially not mine. If you can't confront me, I don't want to know you. I value face to face time. (this of course can be substituted with phone conversation if geography stands in the way) I work hard at my friendships if it is reciprocated. A friendship to me is for life and more valuable at this point in my life than a partner or the idea of a spouse. So if you think you measure up, don't be scared, it'll only hurt a little.
