My friends describe me as a laid back person, somewhat unconventional, music lover, spiritual, rasta/hippie/bohemian personality. I'm interested in meeting fascinating people who have some thoughts of their own... I like to think about a lot of things, and I really enjoy having a deep conversation with someone about just about anything. I love meeting new people and finding common interests.

Currently, I'm working hard on not wishing it away by looking forward to what's next. Even in the most overwhelming circumstances, I'm trying to realize that every experience with will only add to the evolution of my soul. I try to live life to the fullest while balancing work, family and spending time with friends and having fun whenever possible. I'm finding my path and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Speaking my mind, when invited to do so. I'm also really good at keeping it to myself, when necessary. I'm very truthful and open.

My hair or my smile, sometimes my height.

Books: The Four Agreements, The Celestine Prophesy, Way of the Peaceful warrior, anything that contributes to the evolution of my soul.

Movies: Across the Universe, A Home at the End of the World, Donnie Darko, Moulin Rouge

Music: I have a pretty diverse adoration for different genres and musicians. I love to see live local bands. A lot of what I really like probably falls in the indie or alternative group. Reggae makes me happy any day! Some local musicians I really like are Spoonfed Tribe, Katsuk (formerly AAA), Pablo and the Hemphill 7 and Villian Vanguard. I don't listen to the radio much, so what's popular isn't necessarily what I'm into. Regina Spektor, Missy Higgins, Mike Doughty, Michael Franti, Nick Drake, Pete Yorn, Paul Kelly, the list goes on! I truly enjoy music that speaks a truth that I identify with.

Food: I am vegetarian, but I don't preach it nor do I judge others or try to persuade them in any way. Most restaraunts I've visited are very considerate and I can almost always find something satisfying anywhere most people go. I do enjoy sushi on occasion, so that is my one deviation from eating strictly vegetarian.

My girls.
The ability to ponder the mysteries of the universe.
Friends.
Stimulating conversation.
Music.
The freedom to express myself.

How to really live this quote:
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass... it is about learning how to dance in the rain." -unknown

Practicing the Four Agreements (Don Miguel Ruiz):
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
3. Don't Make Assumptions
4. Always Do Your Best

It depends... sometimes I am at home with my girls watching a movie, other Fridays I am out and about with friends. I love to explore new places and enjoy being outside listening to some great live music.

It's not so much private as it is embarassing... I have a fear of flying. I do, however, intend to address this issue. There are way too many places I intend to go to let this stop me!

You are willing to be honest with me about who you are. Don't assume I'll judge you for anything you're less than proud of. I just want to meet people who are authentic in every way.

You possess strong communication skills, exhibit compassion and consideration for others and are able to enjoy yourself even when outside of your own comfort zone.

You exhibit a positive attitude and the ability to laugh at yourself.

You see the glass as "half full" or are at least open to actively trying to get there.

You are secure enough with yourself to have no need to play head games or punish me for what someone else has done to you.

You appreciate the meaning of the following quote:

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." - Nelson Mandela
