I am from an island in the middle of nowhere and it's the best place on Earth
(Aloha and mahalo, malama ohana o Hawai'i)
I am the first to notice a beautiful sunset
and the last person watching it disappear,
I hunt for four leaf clovers,
I have occasional bouts with plagiarism,
I freeze my butt off to watch the northern lights,
I like to listen to my fish when he eats (seriously, you can hear it)
I'd like to see my friends and family more often,
I fight for what I believe in,
I LOVE to cook,
I cry during the stupidest movies,
I'm shy but not easily intimidated,
I do what I say I will do and I rarely hold back,
I appreciate the small things life has to offer,
I bask in the sunshine when the weather permits
and play in the rain when it doesn't,
I SING IN THE SHOWER,
I'm allergic to cats and scallops,
I can't whistle,
I love the water...lake, ocean or stream
...I know what it is to lose love, which means I know what love is...
I want to go to law school,
I want to raise a family,
climb a tree in The Redwood Forrest,
feel the spray of Niagara Falls on my skin,
hear my echo in the Grand Canyon
and read the original Declaration of Independence.
I'm trying to figure out what I want out of life,
wanting to make the best of myself and every situation.
I want to travel until my feet stop stepping.
I want to grow old and hopefully share my steps with my one and only.
I am learning to challenge myself and to never give up,
to keep going even when it hurts.
I have gotten that much from those who are close to me
and I believe in giving it back.
I want to do what no one expects of me.
I love wishing you luck.
I love black and white pictures.
I love over sized pillows.
I love sugar.
I love carbs.
I love commercials.
I love my stupid little car.
I hate when news paper touches me
it makes me sick.
I hate when things that are supposed to be hot are cold.
I hate being up when everyone is asleep.
I love not knowing whats going to happen next.
I, love.
I love 5am missions to mcD's...the #1 is the #2.
I love to find people that I trust
and know that they care for me as much as I care for them.
....love me and I'll still love you more...
If reading this has put a smile on your face, we should probably talk...
If you've not been smiling,
I hope you feel better after you hit the "back" button.

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own,
without moving to hide it
or fade it,
or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy,
mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to be careful,
to be realistic,
to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul;
if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty
even when it's not pretty every day,
and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure,
yours and mine,
and still stand on the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up,
after the night of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you,
from the inside,
when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments."
~Oriah Mountain Dreamer


"It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities.
A possibility is a hint from God. In everyone there is latent the highest possibility, one must follow it."
~Soren Aabye Kierkegaard

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible."
~T.E. Lawrence   Send me a message!
