I’m not average – in any way, shape or form. I’m a little sensitive, a little strange, and can be a force to be reckoned with. I love serenity, peace, and others with a calm spirit.

I have two sides to me – the one that is really me – outgoing, personable, outspoken and funny. I’m a dreamer, a true romantic – a free spirit. This is me around my family, my close friends. The other me is introverted – not wanting any attention brought to me under any circumstance whatsoever. I don’t like ridicule, jokes, or judgements – unfair or not.

I love my husband, the true love of my life, and our daughter – the most precious and innocent (sometimes) human that ever lived.

I love Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and any music that reminds me of the ocean. My spirit is, and has always been like the ocean – free flowing, calm, serene, but able to turn in a second to destructive, and right back to calm yet again.

For the first thirty years of my life I wanted to live near the ocean, and had the chance to for a few short months. As I have grown, I have realized that all of the things in me that gave me the desire and the want to be so close to that place, to not be landlocked, will always be in me – in my soul, in this being that God created. In some ways, I fear that being in the middle of that dream would take that dream away; make me not appreciate it as much. But someday I will be there and will appreciate every moment of it.

I love dolphins, manatees, sharks, sea creatures – there is that same mystery and beauty that is in me – sometimes I feel as if I can associate better with them than I ever have been able to with other humans. That sounds a little crazy, huh? Told you I was a little crazy.

I have never published anything, but I am still a writer – it is in me, it always will be. I am an artist. Not the best in the world, but again, that is what is in this spirit that God gave me.

I have worked in fitness, health, sales, retail; spent 6 years in college to get two degrees and still don’t have any idea where I will go from here. What do I want to be when I grow up? I don’t want to grow up – I want to have the spirit of a child forever.
