Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
well there is one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing; it's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon
ABOUT ME
Shannyn is the name. Scottish is the accent and Australia is where i call home.
I am pretty terrible at these things. I will give you the basic rundown on my sense of self, if you meet me be sure to fill in the blanks. I am curious to my character and the way others perceive me. There is no better way to evolve.
PHILOSOPHY
I try not to try. I am naturally confident with a strong faith, not in the lord, but in the universe.
My Mantra is :
"What's for you will not go by you"
Everything will work out exactly as it is intended. Sometimes i have to remind myself, but life and the beauty of it's continuation is a constant reminder and the only evidence i need.
Remain present. Appreciate the small things. Endeavour to participate in all things with a pure heart.
Be open towards the people who walk in and out of your life.
Observe their spirit; Each person can teach you something if you are willing to absorb their lessons.

Not a big movie person but I am fucking beside myself obsessed with The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Waking Life. It is this breed of conceptual film that gets my brain juice flowing.
I love it when the after thoughts and ideas behind a film take precedence over the film itself.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Christmas time in New York City
Watching the Sunset over the Grand Canyon with my little sister by my side.
Day to day life. Watching the clouds blow across the sky, Appreciating the colours of autumn , being mindful of the wind hitting your face.
Each moment is just as important as the next, It is only our perception that leaves us awestruck
