About Me

Non-judgmental, great appreciation for people and life, don't like to quit or give up, great deal of patience, little sense of time urgency and don't like to rush, easily bored, open-minded and appreciate the same in other people. I love meeting new people, sunshine and warm weather, dancing, food, wine, culture, photography, simplicity, adventures, trying new things and travelling places I've never been. I love all of the idiosyncracies that make up human beings, I appreciate the little things in people, life, love. I can be literal at times and always stand behind my word. Music is the language of my soul, it carries me..."The greatest punishment of laziness is witnessing the success of others who are less talented...but more industrious...""The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life...and hold it fixed so that 100 years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again..." -William Faulkner"Music can be like perfume. It's almost a scent, you know, where the right smell changes an environment and makes life more bearable.." FrouFrou

My Interests

Painting, photography, finding balance, meditation, sunshine, spirituality, sensuality, music, working out, yoga, hiking, books, Zen, inspiring and being inspired by others, movies, meeting new people, dancing, travelling, cooking, stimulating conversations, simplicity, humility, philosophy, creativity, foreign art films, exploration of different ideas, flowers, dark chocolate, people watching, the smell of freshly cut grass, falling asleep to the sound of rain outside...

I'd like to meet:

Passionate people keeping it real; anyone who brings a fresh perspective on the world to the table; open minded and heart. People who question the norm. The ambitious yet unassuming and ethical. People that challenge me to become a better person. People with a sense of humor that don't take themselves too seriously and love to laugh... Those with broad interests that love to share what they're thinking about." Staying humble is the first step to continuous knowledge..."

Our Light...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to ...
