About Me

i'd rather be open to the possibilities than closed in with the comfort. i'd rather take a chance than live amongst very pretty daydreams. i prefer space so i can stretch and unfold and swing with a sweet air breeze.
since life is always changing, i'm forever learning how to let go of it, how to float on my back and let the water just carry me along. effortlessly. i'm an extrovert but a loner, logical but passionate, a doer but a daydreamer, a believer but a bit of a skeptic, a serious soul with a splash of comedy, trying to grow up but wanting to stay young. a contradiction of sorts. a living balancing act who falls over from time to time. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

loVe traveling to far away lands so i can learn more about the world and myself, LovE laughing out loud from my belly, lOVe my ipod and my ipod LOvEs me, I LOVE the God that lives within you and the one that lives within me (he's the same one ya know:), lovE listening to people and their stories because thinking about my own gets so boring sometimes, LoVe reading about LovE and nutrition and health and travel and life, LOVe riding my bike next to grass or sand or water with sun and fresh air close by too, lOve yoga because it stretches my body mind and soul and quiets my ever increasing thoughts, lOVE playing in the ocean because it makes me remember what it's like to be a carefree kid and i LoVE to float and dive and dunk and splash and skinnydip, LOVE dancing in my apt with the music up, LoVe listening to music in my car with the windows down, lOve dogs because they know how to have fun all the time and have mastered unconditional LOve, lovE my family even though sometimes i feel like i was adopted, LovE my friends even though sometimes lots of time passes between us, LoVE freedom of speech and thought, LOVe experiencing truth, loVe pancakes brownies and chocolate chip cookies, lOvE liquid eyeliner, i LOvE it when my plants live or come back to life after i've let them almost die on accident, lovE blue skies or warm green rainy days, loVE it when someone gets me and i get them and we equally enjoy spending time with each other, i LOVE finding LOVE in the darkest of places.

I'd like to meet:

someone who can teach me something new, open my eyes up to a new way of looking at the world, a dreamer, a gemini, someone with good traveling stories and a trip to somewhere new in the works, a jokster, someone who can make me laugh so hard my belly hurts, an open mind, a not so serious side, energy, someone who loves to cook really tasty food, my own private beach with the most perfect waves, a spiritual guru, a powerful politician who cares about the environment and this world we live in and is doing something to better it, an endless summer, a warm winter, a place that feels like home.
i like meeting open roads too, figurative and literal ones. cuz then that means theres options and possibilities.

Music:

anything that inspires me...to dance, to write, to cry, to sing, to scream, to clap, to laugh, to be with friends...to be something more than i already am. music is so much. how about modest mouse, wilco, mazzy star, juana molina, jack johnson, bob marley and all of his sons, ben harper, fiona apple, bob dylan, zero 7, jj cale, kings of convenience, atmosphere, common, lauryn hill and much much more.

Television:

my television and i broke up so i kicked him out. now i've started a relationship with my iBook laptop and netflix. so far so good.

Books:

living the science of mind by ernest holmes, eat pray love by elizabeth gilbert, skinny legs and all by tom robbins, 'songs of a seeker': the book of poetry i'll be publishing sometime in the near future, the way to love by anthony de melo, the course of miracles by someone who was completely inspired.

Heroes:

my mom because she's challenged me more than anyone else i've ever met, my best girlfriends because they continually help me peel away the unnecessary layers of my Self, fiona apple and alicia keys because they can play the piano so divinely and sing from the souls of their belly, michael bernard beckwith because he's in touch with the Spirit and he helps me see the big picture, rumi because he's a badass mystic and poet and those are two things i strive to be, You because everyone teaches me something.

Thoreau

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we m...
