Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To love, see and experience the world and hopefully make it a little better.
ABOUT ME
My husband and I are Texans who have lived in the Czech Republic for 11 years. No kids. One VERY spoiled cat.
PHILOSOPHY
I have a lot of them. We are all just kids on the inside. Life is an adventure and a chance to learn. I'm not scared of death. I would be more afraid of not living well. We are all in this together and none of us are getting out alive so be forgiving, be kind and be compassionate. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. "The right to be ridiculous is one that I hold dear." -Bono

Music, Movies, and Books
HATE-sad, sappy movies that make you cry.
Give me fantasy, adventure, sci-fi- Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Serenity, Mission Impossible, Iron Man- or comedy- Real Genius, Ferris Bueler- something fun. Or something brilliant, thoughtful or powerful - Requiem for a Dream, Lord of War, Dorian Gray, Fight Club, Charlie Wilson's War.
music-Raggae and ska are the happiest kinds of music in the world, you must love Bob! 30 Seconds to Mars, U2, Placebo, Street Drum Corps, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith, Creed, Dashboard Confessional, Dido, Jack Johnson, Linkin Park, Matisyahu, Natasha Bedingfield, P.O.D, Sheryl Crow, Il Harmonics-almost everything except country.
books-similar to movies-fantasty, mystery, adventure but also spiritual writings- love C.S. Lewis and not just for Narnia.
