About Me


Bertrand Russell:
Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
of children in famine, of victims tortured
and of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
WWW.VNHELP.ORGThis is the wonderful little girl I am sponsoring in Vietnam... Her smile warms my heart... her joy is mine..... Take the opportunity in making a difference in another persons life, you'll discover you will make a a huge difference in your own....
If you really are that interested here I am raw and organic FYI tha basics.... I'm not perfect and don't presume to be. I make mistakes and I'm constantly looking for opportunities to grow. So with my breath I welcome the pain because it will only show me where I need to grow. I am a big kid that enjoys getting stupid at times but also takes care of business. I like to wear lots of different hats in life, it only pushes me to expand myself & be open-minded. Because of unexplained and unexpected health challenges over the last 3 years I am much more mindful of how the body, mind, & soul need to be in balanced. We abuse it with so many toxins which so I am very mindful of what I consume. To live life in moderation & balance is my focus through mindfulness. I guess that is the salt of life for me these days, it is that egg in my top ramen. There is no lengths to what I do for my "real" friends and I make it a daily task to stay in touch. I feel in any "real" relationship what is most important is making the time for them, having tolorence, giving respect to time spent together, sharing laughter, sadness, life stories, creating a circle of trust so you can communicate without blame or judgement, basically try to understand one another, and being there for them on good days and bad. This is what makes people my friends or family. I wouldn't be the person I am today without all of them, I so thankful for all of you being part of my life.
I have found what most important is to have a great relationship with myself first these days. Most people don't really know themselves consciously & unconsciously. I have gotten to a point in life where I've found out what makes me truly happy provides me energy, & brings me peace. I am a work in progress so excuse the mess at times. There is no right or wrong or good or bad, I have found what really counts is truth.
We are all connected by everything through life's energies, call it what you will. We all have a different name for it but we all have to agree it is all around us in everything & if you are mindful you will feel it. I know we all want to make a difference with our lives. I have discovered the best way is to start with myself. To create change you need to change yourself first. Be aware of oneself & the answers are inside of us. It is time to remember what we all could be & take action to live it through our practice. Water falls down hill from there.
I am joyful in this very moment & thankful for the opportunities I have in front of me. I'm proud that I can truly say that now. I have found new inspirations & levels thanks to my relationship with "BUTTERCUP" she reminded me of who I was inside (good/bad). Though life has taken us down two different paths your happiness is mine you will always have my love and affection. Hopefully I can write my own Notebook one day, but until then I am enjoying my solitude, content on putting my energies toward my personal growth and sharing what I find.
"Come what may"
I know that I am still young and have more growth ahead of me when it comes to my career and personal depth but I cant help be excited about achieving those new levels.
"You get what you put into life"
I am trying to keep life simple, 100% drama free (I think I'm allergic to that stuff, drives me crazy & i'm out of benedryl). I'm "not" here to date or get caught up in a popularity contest. I'm just down to stay in touch with kool people that I can relate to & share knowledge. I'm here to stay in touch with my friends, find old ones, network for new opportunities and express thoughts. I don't mind being a "real "friend to new people I meet though. We have a lot we can learn from one another if we set our egos, judgments & pride aside.. My opinions are just "MY PERSONAL" opinions on life, politics, finance, & social issues. They are based off my experience & understanding. I will always respect your free will please respect mine. Time to write my own soundtrack. Let my actions be my pen & my heart be my instrument. In the end this is my life & I choose to live "MY DREAM" that I found in my heart.
"it is better to take responsibility for your life as it is, instead of blaming others, or circumstances, for your predicaments. As your eyes open, you’ll see that your state of health, happiness, and every circumstance of your life has been, in large part, ARRANGED by YOU--consciously or unconsciously -a peaceful warrior

My Interests


Travel the world, surfing, practicing being a better spiritual being, music, being dorky, nerdy, dancing til my feet get sore, learning, growing, making a difference (leaving a ripple & living full circle)

"Love is relieving other people's suffering..." got mad love for everyone..

"You have to be able to joke & laugh at lifes simple truths..."

I'd like to meet:



Anyone that is a "birds of a feather" in their heart

People that r cool like that chill like that. People that make me laugh or allow me to be the nerd that I am. People that can take care of their business & rock a party at the same time (balance is key). I'm basically here to do my journal & & share my understanding about life. So if your feeling anything what I write please visit again or write me back with what your feeling. I really enjoy getting feedback good or bad. It is sometimes refreshing to get a view of life from a different window. I think a good friend doesn't always tell you what you wanna hear but what you need to hear. The rest is up to you. People with morals & that are not so shady. You gotta love music, books, art, culture, & definately food. I hope you can be goofy, crazy laid back, & spontaneous. I want to surround myself with people that I can inspire me.

Come on people get your shovels out and dig a little deeper. I don't care where your from, your age, or style. As long as you have a mind of your own & know how to listen to your own heart. I wont be adding everyone & anyone as friends to my list cause it is not popularity contest with me. No need to get caught up into myspace drama. You all know what I'm talking about. For the people that can relate I'm always down to be real friends as long as we can hold a decent conversation outside of a party or club k? I'm not here to make judgments upon others lifestyles, I'm either feeling it or not. Its all good these days.

Life is as simple as you make it.

I want to also surround myself with people that live life as passionately as me, "when the flames of your desire scotch your entire horizon" You get what you put into life, I cant say that enough. Thats one of life's simple truths... It is the road less traveled these days but one that squeezes the most out of life. I'm not about taking short cuts all the time these days. I guess with age comes patience. The wonderful part about free will is that you should not have to conform. "Unchain yourselves" Don't be afraid to take yourself outside your comfort zone.

More is not always the answer.

We all should find our own happiness but still respect each other. Thank you for allowing me to share & doing the same with me. Sometimes people will come and go in your life but hopefully I left a small footprint on your heart for your journey wherever it may take you. Pea[e, Aloha & Blessing of enough to you all.....

Blessings of enough "Live like you have nothing to prove & with the openness of sharing" Its that type of abundance to give without expectation back that will allow you to recieve the abundance of life. Recently I overheard a story of a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough". The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom". They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?". Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?". "I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said. "When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?". She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone". She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

She then began to cry and walked away. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them. I now share this blessing with all the people I will never forget and I continue to remember to share the same blessing with the person who shares it with me. If you don't share it with anyone or yourself it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten what brings joy to your heart. TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....and be mindful of your breath. Wherever we all are in our lives, I WISH US all BLESSINGS OF ENOUGH
