Artist, chef, devoted mother, avid reader, active lifestyle. Strong sense of self, driven, independant, love to laugh, smile, and be creative. Known to play in the rain. I am very passionate about most everything ;).
I am inspired everyday by so many different people and experiences. I express myself through my work, in writing poetry, visually on canvas or through a photograph.
I love nature, and everything it entails. There is so much natural beauty all around us, and so many people miss out. I love finding ways to share the beauty of Nature with others.
I just turned 30, on June 30th. My golden birthday as it were. What can I say about that....I sort of look at it as a milestone. I definitely took the time to contemplate and be grateful that I have been alive for 30yrs and hope to be for 30 more. There were moments in my life that could have turned out worse, moments I should have died but miraculously survived, and moments that were humbling, great, and just ok. What matters though, is that I had those moments, and when they went sour I always told myself "It could be worse." I became who I am out of circumstance, and I took that circumstance and made it flourish into something beautiful. For me, I am grateful for a minute, a breath, a smile, even a tear. I want to feel life and step inside and out of passion and hide inside myself when I am lost. I want to live!
If you are not humbled by power, then you cannot use it to make change. I really believe this!
What Gives Me Hope
Looking in the faces of my children everyday.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Honestly what good does it do to answer a question like this, I mean I am not running for office am I?
What/who changed my life and why
Nelson Mandela.
I read his story when I was a child and he changed my life in the sense that he showed what one human being could accomplish for a nation. I knew if he could accomplish his dream of a better South Africa, I could accomplish anything.
What is it in a person that you remember? Do you remember people as they were, or do you remember "he was funny?" My old master once told me that the things we touch have no permanence. He said that there is nothing we can hold on to in this world; only by letting go can we truly possess what is real. I wanted to tell you with my last breath, I have always loved you. I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side as a condemned soul than to enter heaven without you. But I being poor have only my dreams, I've spread my dreams under your feet, .........tread softly, Because you tread on my dreams. " William Butler Yeats (yeah, I'm a lover of poetry ;-) )
