How to define me is difficult. I'm actually a fairly shy person and one of those people you have to really get to know to see what is hidden inside.  Writing, I find is my sanctuary hidden in my sacred diary...but now I am taking the step to share my journey with new and interesting people in hopes to build a deeper meaning to life's challenges and obstacles.

I strongly believe in unconditional love...for family, friends, and that one special person.  I believe the path to happiness is within the true essence of love.  It asks for nothing, but only the desire to give. It is pure and innocent. It is often the cruelty of the human heart that makes it so unattainable.  I value simplicity over luxury, modesty over vanity, compassion over intolerance, and knowledge over ignorance. 

"The affirmation of ones own life, happiness, growth, and freedom is rooted in one's capacity to love."  (Erich Fromm)
