Be the change you wish to see in the world.

About Me


Your wise quote is: "Be kind to unkind people,
they probably need it the most" by
Ashleigh Brilliant.
You try to look beyond apperance, try to give
people second chances and are probably very
kind. Understanding is your biggest personality
trait, and thoose you can see through should be
grateful. If they aren't already. You detest
narrow minded people, because they can't see
what's really there. Facades is not your thing
and you strive to always be who you really are.
I live such a blessed life and sometimes really take it for granted. I have a wonderful family (not your typical mom-dad scenario, but who wants to be normal anyway?) that is very supportive and caring, I have a wonderful boyfriend with whom I want to spend the rest of my life and beyond, I'm blessed with means to make all my ends meet (even if it's just barely), I can walk=dance, I can talk=sing, I can smile=laugh, I can see=behold, I can touch=feel, I can inhale=breathe, I can sniff=smell, I can taste=savour, I can sleep=dream, I can hug=embrace...life is truly amazing.I'm currently at Valdosta State University and trying to work toward an Exercise Phys degree. I would like to go to a massage therapy school and get certified as well as attend a chiropractic school and become a chiropractor (and crack yer bones....hehe). While in the process of aspiring to the D.C. level, I want to do bunches and oodles of volunteer work helping wherever I can: Habitat for Humanity, Big Brother Big Sister, anything I can find. I think if I could become a professional volunteer and get by just by helping others, I do it in a skinny minute.

My Interests

I like bellydancing, yoga, alternative medicine, meditation, herbal teas, shooting (I had a scholarship for it), reading and writing poetry, traveling, spending time with friends and family, meeting new friends, laughing, smiling, watching the moon, chasing the sunset, playing in the rain, rising before the sun, experiencing the life all around me....Yeah, I hug trees. :)

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet a professional bellydancer.... maybe I could get lessons!

Music:

My favorite kind of music is Celtic...it's so spiritual. I also listen and dance to tribal drums and Native American music. When I'm listening to the radio, however, I listen to Christian music, rock, hot hits (usually with a club-style beat), but I find myself listening to countryand Christian more than anything else.
You Are Midnight
You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. What Time Of Day Are You?

Television:

I don't really watch a lot of TV, but when I do, I like "Who's Line Is It Anyway?", "Law and Order: SVU", "Medium", "CSI", "Will and Grace", "Golden Girls"...usually shows that are either amusing or get you thinking and wondering...

Books:

Books are great, but I much prefer listening to people tell stories, whether it's a professional storyteller or a friend describing their week's agenda...it's all an adventure and can all be exciting.

Heroes:

To be a valid Christian I would have to say Jesus (give credit where is due, you know?) but I'm still ironing that out a bit with myself (new to the faith, still kinda shaky on a bunch of stuff). My mom is a big hero to me. The woman is unbelievable. I also strongly admire Mother Theresa, Helen Keller, and Princess Diana (among many others).
