Be the change you wish to see in the world - M. Gandhi

About Me

"My religion is very simple; my religion is kindness."
--The Dalai Lama
♥ Life has taken me down many different roads. Some good, some not so good. But I've learned along the way, that even when things aren't going so good, there is ALWAYS something positive to be found...if you just look a little bit deeper...or for a little bit longer. That one extra second may be all it takes to go from the total silence in your life, to finding that tiny "whisper of hope" that will keep you hanging on...keep you moving forward...until your hands touch what you were reaching for.....One night almost 3 years ago, I was out walking in the snow...alone...calling for someone. That same night, he was out walking in the snow, and heard me (from many miles away). A voice whispered back, "I'm here". That tiny whisper of hope was all that I had left. Now I am happily married to the most wonderful man in the world. Without a doubt, I have been blessed. I have someone to laugh with...to cry with...to play with...to hold hands with. And suddenly...growing older isn't so bad. Because we get to grow...together.
Anything is possible. It truely is. You know the old saying, "I'll believe it WHEN I see it." Well, most of the time, if you BELIEVE it...then you'll see it. Sound like a dreamer? Maybe...but this dreamers dreams are coming true! ♥

My Interests



Exercising, bike riding, walking, hanging out with my hubby, and just enjoying time together. I love when we get the chance to travel. We've seen some beautiful places together! We just bought our second home in Lancaster PA. (vacation place) and I can't wait to explore!!

Peaceful Times, Peaceful Places Taking a break from everyday chaos...to just breathe.

A very snowy afternoon at the pond

Tranquillity in Gettysburgh

An afternoon at Great Falls. Something so rough, yet so peaceful...

A quiet moment in the gardens of Historic London Town

Listening to the water as it rolls up onto the rocks

A quiet, foggy morning at the lake

Reflecting on all that life has to offer

I'd like to meet:



A WHISPER OF HOPE

It's the little rays of sun that peek through the dark clouds on a stormy day.
The tear that falls from a smiling mothers eye...the first time she watches her newborn child sleep...and listens to his tiny sigh of content, as he lays in her arms.
It's the birds that dance playfully after a storm...in what we see as "just a puddle" of rain.
The feeling you get when a child puts his hand in yours.
It's the reflection of yourself that you see in your spouses eyes...with so much love.
It's the picture perfect sunset that seems to have been created just for the "two of you"...as you stand there looking in awe...it's colors slowly being painted in front of you...
A Whisper Of Hope is that small voice that whispers,"Don't give up" when all seems lost.

Music:



Movies:

Pulp Fiction, Bridges of Madison County, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Message In a Bottle, Wedding Crashers, Crash, 40 Year Old Virgin, American History X, SLC Punk, Bader Santa, Dodge Ball, Napoleon Dynamite, Old School, All the Austin Powers movies, The Breakfast Club, Chocolat(and any other move with Johnny Depp!).... But it all depends what mood I'm in! I can usually find something to like in most movies that I watch. Even the "Seed of Chucky"...which was just BAD! :)

Television:

ER is probably my favorite show...but I like to watch a lot of the reality shows! Dog The Bounty Hunter, Surreal Life, American Idol...Comedy Central is probably where I'm at the most though. That, and MTV's shows (Yo Momma..Punked...Next..) I spend a LOT of time on the Animal Planet as well! On days when I don't feel well, I love to just lay in bed and watch the animals! They always make me feel better!
I also love to watch "Who's Line is it Anyway" with hubby at the end of the night! It's nice to fall asleep with a smile on my face!

Books:

I love mysteries! My mom got me hooked on them when I was younger! I've read just about every Kurt Vonegut book and LOVE them! Health stuff...exercise books...inspirational books, poetry....

Heroes:


*My dad. He's done more for me than he understands. I could never give him all he's given me.
*My husband. Hearing about the person he was, who he's become, and knowing that he's strives to be a better person every day...takes my breath away. He does so much for so many...and gives me all that he is. I couldn't ask for more.
*Gandhi- Be the change you wish to see in the world. (can it be more simple?)
*Joel Osteen
*Dr. Wayne Dyer
*Everyone of these people, has added something positive and wonderful to my life!

Anything is possible

Not really a "blog". Just an inspirational passage that I enjoy, and get a lot from. Although I did not write it... my words are at the end...and my heart is all the way through it. ---...

A time in your life

There comes a time in your life (and if you're too young to see it now...you will eventually) when you realize that you won't always be here...and neither will the people that you love. Through-o...

Did you ever have.....

Did you ever have one of those days? One of those days where you wake up in the morning, and everything just feels....right? You can feel everything around you, sense everything around you....as if it...
