About Me

So I'm bored and thought I would change my about me section. Lets see...I recently turned 25, pretty exciting. Even though I'm only five years away from the big 3-0, I feel younger than ever. I run a daycare in my home in Santa Cruz and I LOVE IT! I pretty much get to play with kids all day everyday. We do art projects and sing songs and make-believe...it's the best job in the world and I can't imagine doing anything else. I have a wonderful, beautiful, amazing one year old daughter named, Madeline. I LOVE HER!!! She is the sunshine of my life! I recently left a 6 year relationship so I'm single again. It's sorta weird. I'm so glad to be out of that unhappy situation, but I'll admit, I'm a bit lonely. With more time on my hands I've been thinking a lot about EVERYTHING. Mostly the state of the world we live in and all of the people in it. I feel like we are in this awful, downward spiral of materialism and negativity. I feel sad for Earth because we are killing it. I think people everywhere need to get away from their tv's and GO OUTSIDE. My favorite quote by Einstein pretty much sums up what I think about things; "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest...a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affections for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in it's beauty."...Well said. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!
