The Journey of Life

About Me

I have been told that I can get too deep (aka real), some are ready, some are not....let's see, I am considered by those who know me a free spirit. I try to accept life as it comes. I love learning about myself and I love sharing what I have learned with those I love. To me, life can be exciting - we never know what will happen next. It's all about how we react to life that matters. I do feel that everyone in this world has something to offer. If we can just dig deep enough within ourselves we might find out what that is. We all have a bit of good and evil in us, it's simply our CHOICE in every action we take which one to use. Thoughts lead to actions and believe it or not, you do have control over what you think, therefore you have control over your actions (how you react to the world). I speak from experience, I used to allow my thoughts to control me, I continue to work on it. I am strong in my convictions, but I know that others may not always see my point of view, because we are not at the same place in our journey. I do allow people to be themselves. You respect me I respect you, it's that simple. We are ALL on our journey through life and we all look for the same thing - TrUe HaPPiNeS. When we stop being ruled by our thoughts ( or ego), it will be found!..src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i184/fwlimage s/banneranimated-1.gif" border="0" alt="Myspace Layouts, Myspace Graphics, & More!"/

My Interests

I love listening to good music! When I go out I typically listen to either House or Breaks, depending on what I am in the mood for. I love culture and if I could I would travel forever! I want to see it all...I love people who can have a deep conversation. I am not saying every conversation has to be deep, but show me something! I love learning about myself because it helps me continue to grow in my relationships with those I care most about. You have to be honest with yourself about who you are in order to communicate effectively with others. I enjoy spending time with my wonderful partner and best friend Shawn, my relationship is very important to me. Love/Music is what makes the world go round!

I'd like to meet:

People who are comfortable being themselves.
