My thoughts run rampant in my head and spill out in words, art and laughter. I enjoy cooking and baking, with a major interest in eating locally and making as much from scratch as possible. I have opinions. I have a pesky sense of social justice and a drive to get involved in my community. I support preserving our surroundings and being green but I do admit to throwing away recyclables on occasion. *insert guilty look here* I have very good vision (I'm not refering to my eyes). I like to dream. I have a wonderful and supportive family, for which I am so very thankful. I'm fascinated by other peoples' stories and how similar we all are. We are made up of a million little stories, a personal collection of experiences.

I am from the desire to learn, to understand, to love, to be loved, and from the wish that we all, truly, can live in harmony.

I am from a study of many world religions and finding some of each that bring me at peace with the world, and yet completely failing to understand how people hate so much and so many in the name of one god or another.

I’m from a small town in the middle of nowhere from Poles and Brazilians, from perogies, sauerkraut and churrasco.

If you can't take the time to read my profile, I'm not taking the time to respond to your one liner email..
