CURRENT MISSION

To serve God and His plan for my life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Los Angeles native who's lived in 7 different cities in the U.S. ultimately Have visited Paris, France; Canada; Costa Rica; and 32 U.S. states.
Professionally, I am an acupuncturist.
I'm clean, quiet, respectful, friendly, warm, and helpful, and I have a good sense of humor. I'm pretty quiet and self-sufficient, particularly with people I'm just getting to know - but I'm good at making conversation! I also enjoy Classical music, oldies, and nature.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you do not live what you believe, you will end up believing what you live."
- Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."
- St. Mother Teresa

“Pray, hope, and don’t worry.”
-St. Padre Pio

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
-The Velveteen Rabbit

"The only, truly progressive thing in all the world is Love. Nothing else progresses like it. But it feeds on only one kind of food: the crushing of the ego, the beginning of the living for another."
- Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words."
- St. Francis of Assisi

"In Thy will is our peace."
- Dante Alighieri

"Make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
- St. Francis of Assisi
