To scuba dive in a pool...

ABOUT ME

I am Irish and Polish and grew up in a very small town. I like to try new things, am very outgoing and get lost in thoughts. I love to relax on a sandy beach or just be outdoors camping. I am extremely loyal to all of my friends and love spontaneity. I have very unique eating habits due to food allergies. I basically stay within the specific carbohydrate diet and eat very healthy.

PHILOSOPHY

Tell me and I forget
Show me and I remember
Involve me and I understand

Favorite Poem
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 dreams, for the adventure of being alive…
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, or 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 you own soul. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from God’s presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn’t interest me 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 for the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you are, how you came to be there. 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.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen children's eye's light up as they learn a new concept. I have seen children discuss something they learned long after they have left the classroom. I have seen the love of learning shine in their eyes even if things in their lives are not perfect.
