About Me

Lately I have been spending alot of time outside, exploring, meditating, soaking in the energy that nature has to offer. I love being by water. whether it is a lake, river, or a small stream. An observant introvert, I like what life teaches me every day. Every morning that you wake is a blessing and should never be taken for granted. animal layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

I have come to the conclusion that the most single important movie release this year is going to happen on July fourth. For any of you who are nerds like me, you know what that means.
