About Me:
Always:
I am energetic, exhuberant, enthusiastic, optimistic, idealistic, realistic, responsible, considerate, compassionate, and nonjudgemental. I am a Lover of life! I am a Learner of everything, including myself. I am interested in seeing every area of the world, both physically and theoretically. I am a dreamer
…I tend to wear rose colored glasses, but am conscious of truth; I acknowledge pain, discomfort, injustice, inequality, etc. but instead of dwelling on the negative, I see the possibility for growth and renewal within destruction. I understand the difference between ignorance and indifference and try not to partake in either party.
Currently:
I am creating my own space in the world. I have relized that to some degree our purpose in society is predestined. We may manipulate the avenue of achieving that role, but essentially; “all we know is all we are” -Nirvana.
Again I am a teacher, in the very literal public high school sense. After a summer of soul searching, diving deeper, reconnecting to sense of self, setting goals, chasing dreams, and creating a plan of productivity and accomplisment ,I have rediscovered my roots. I love liberal ideas, living lightly, loving deeply, and creating chaos in which to find order…however, I thrive in self regualted structure including tradition, routine, schedules, etc. This is one of my many trials as a free spirit that requires some restraint in order to best channel and focus my talents.
As an idependant adult, I have now relocated my life across the country from Detroit suburbs to Scottsdale, Arizona. I have spent the late summer attending and standing up in the weddings of my only sister, and my best friend since third grade. This cemented the sentiments of family, love and truly living. I have renewed energy and spirit as I fall into autumn a long way away, but as I settle into my new life I feel truly home.
Future…
I have big plans for the future. I found that I must rely on what I know now in order to best build my potential for becoming the greatness I know is awaitng. It feels good to know the road ahead even if you're taking the long way…but, i've always preferred the scenic route anyway.
Believe…
I believe -
….that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe -
….that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe -
…that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe -
….that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe -
….that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe -
….that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe -
….that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I believe -
….that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe -
….that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe -
…That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe -
….that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe -
….that my best friend and/or spouse and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I believe -
….that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe -
….that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe -
….that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe -
….that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe -
….that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe -
….that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe -
….that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe -
….that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I believe -
….two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe -
….that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe -
….that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
I believe -
….that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe -
…. that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not! (Galatians 6:9)
