CURRENT MISSION

To have peace within myself, patience to experience all things around me, and to be present in the now! :)

ABOUT ME

I'm currently traveling! Not just see the sights but breath in, touch, taste, feel, have a full experience. Some people say I'm a little bit hippie, but really I'm a free spirit. When I use to live in the US I did Americorps, volunteer work, for 2 years. I left the US and arrived here in NZ Feb 4th, 2010. I'm not here on vacation, I'm not escaping responsibilities or reality, I'm here living my life. I love outdoors, hiking, reading, on occasional good beer, enjoy company, and so much more! I also practice Vipassana meditation.

PHILOSOPHY

I think every person has a soul lesson for being here on this planet. We're all here to learn and live and love and be. I believe fully in carpe diem, and living in the now. I think that people often live too much in the fast lane, and dont talk to one another enough. I dont do things at a slow pace, but I'm learning to appreciate the slow times, and to enjoy the minutes of the day and what happens in our days.

Music, Movies, and Books

Journey of Souls- Michael Newton, The Celestine Prophecy- James Redfield : Amazing books, I'm also a huge fantasy reader, for instance the series: A song of Ice and Fire. Really I just enjoy books!
I'm a fan of all music- I think that all music has a mystery and beauty about it, and I don't specifically listening to just one type.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive done and seen some amazing things: currently I'm in New Zealand, and every day I'm here I see something amazing- whether its nature, or the very amazing kiwi hospitality.... really there are loads of things possible to describe here, so I'll keep it simple, and simply say that New Zealand is amazing, and amazes me every day I am here.
