ABOUT ME
What can I say... I was born and raised in Derry in the north west of Ireland.. When I was 18 I went to New york to work and finished up travelling USA,I settled i california for a while before going south to Mexico... I spent 4 years travelling various countries in Europe and America. I love outdoors and do alot of hiking and mountain biking, In 2003 I hiked 800kms of the camino de santiago which was amazing... I then lived in Andalucia for a year. I love reading and my favourite author is paolo Coelho, i enjoy spending my weekends in Italy or spain.
PHILOSOPHY
âÃâ¬ÃÅOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.âÃâ¬ÃÂ
