'- In The Art of Grace, Poise, and Excellence -'

In my 23 years of life thus far I have learned this much; You must live and experience life. Take it within your own grasp and salvage every lesson that can be learned. You must stride through life with your chin up, eyes open and a sense of grace, poise and excellence. One should love themselves and others, as well as learning to be loved. When all else fails, take a step back and three deep breaths. Accept and understand that pain is a necesary in life, and learn from such manners. There is no sweet without the sour. A single smile can change a persons day, a single scowl can too.

Along the path of my life, such things have I discovered and accepted of myself;

I am an artisan and sensualist. I enjoy the salty breeze in my hair and the spray of mist on my flesh. I love children, cats and the Arts. I enjoy the vanilla and the kink. I can sing, write, and dance. I'm ever eager to learn and usually open to a new lesson. I'm going to be a midwife, someday. My sense of style varies on my mood and the situation at hand. Do not try to define. confine or label me in a stereotype, it's not fair and I won't be barred. California is my home, even as my heart hungers for the journey of life. I have many steps to go until I find myself as "grown-up", but I do find myself a mature adult. I am a lover, a submissive, and a kind person. I believe in karma. I'm an optimists with a realistic understanding of life. I like to think the best of people. I like computers. I may be scattered, but I enjoy my little place of organized chaos. I am an ever changing, ever broadening person. I suck at knitting, but I still want to try. Above all things..I want be happy, to know love, and be satisfied, and content.

For now..I think that is enough. I'm sure more will come..but for now..this qualifies as good.
