CURRENT MISSION

To learn! Culture, Music, Dances, Wines, Coffee, and FOOD! To love others as myself!

ABOUT ME

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music. ~Gustav Mahler

I like to laugh a lot, and have been known to do so for 8 hours straight, over ridiculous things. I love to travel and experience new things. I love people! I also love music and what it brings to the world.

I wish I was Audrey Hepburn with Julie Andrews's voice....

Oh and I've been hypnotized... so that's cool, right?

PHILOSOPHY

And you said "I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart, then things will just get worse.
If the burden seems too much to bear,
remember, the end will justify the pain it took to get us there."
-favorite lyrics by Relient K

2 Peter 3:9

I live life trying to love others and live like Jesus did. I also am a firm believer that it is NOT my place to ever judge people.
