About Me

I am Beloved, and I spend most of my day trying to discover the implications of this as I live in the tension of "the already but not yet."I adore my sister, she is my best mate! She is one of the most authentic, life loving and grace filled people I know. Absolutely beautiful!Mad crazy about the art of music. I aspire to spend my last years on this earth making beautiful music. August 2004-August 2005 is still the best year of my life, though there are many that are a very close second. If you don't know, I would like to spend my last days on earth in Seattle or the UK. Now you know. Best summer experiences . . . Week in Taize August of 2005; first Ciona & Lanecia trip to Seattle, WA in 2004; going to the first show of U2 Vertigo tour in Dublin summer of 2005; Coldplay X&Y tour in Glasgow, Scotland summer of 2005; first trip across the pond summer 2003; and 4th of July in LA, California summer 2004. Amazing!I really enjoy my job. Must say that I work with some of the best people in the US of A. Every day they teach me something about life, faith, LAUGHTER and Love.I am not an open book, however those closest to me know that my facial expressions, for the most part, say everything.I do love people and observing from various distances the stories God is writing with their lives.I am finding the more I open myself up to grace, the more I learn to extend and live in grace.I am shy, which can easily be mistaken as being stuck-up or disinterested. However . . . I am finding that since being on a dating hiatus/sabbatical, my shell is starting to crack a bit. Expressing some freedom in the area of knowing others and being known by others.I listen, which for others can be both refreshing and uncomfortable in a world full of sound. Living into the call to love God and neighbor is my number one priority, which I am finding to be extremely counter-cultural in the land of white dress dreams. To those who love me, please no ulcers worrying over such things. I'm not.I do enjoy a good laugh, as well as a meaningful conversation.I love life, my sister, my friends, good music, good coffee and being.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Authentic people who know they are moons in need of a Light Source.Nelson Mandela...no explanation neccessary.Bono of U2 and Chris Martin of Coldplay...honestly not because of their fame or good looks. I would like to meet them because of their talent and the way they spend their time.Lauryn Hill...she is inspiring. A conversation with her could not possibly be dull.Blake Mycoskie...he inspires me.Love.
