Pondering the Possibilities
Hello!
I am a 36-year-old who believes firmly in incorporating creativity into every aspect of life, loves to solve problems, enjoys a challenge, has nearly endless energy, wants to learn as much as humanly possible, wants to leave the world a bit better, who defines her life by Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition of success and strives to be "... the change she wishes to see in the world," as instructed by Gandhi; furthermore, I am someone who realizes that our perspectives of "things" are encompassed by who "we" are rather than what "they" are... as Anais Nin once remarked. I teach on a Native American Reservation and try to soak in the beauty of the natural world that surrounds me on a daily basis.
Ayn Rand, Emerson, Vonnegut, Austen, Mitch Albom... really there are too many to count.... I simply love the written word. I believe that it humanizes and connects our world because it exemplifies the fact that the struggles that we face on a daily basis and the trials and tribulations that make life both treacherous and starkly beautiful have all been faced by those who have gone before us... they link us to each other via thought and emotion on the most basic level... our spoken communication and innermost ideas.
Laughter, adventure, comfort... easy as breathing
All sorts... puzzles, board games... team building
I have an ecclectic taste... I'll listen to a little of everything and dance to anything at all (even in my car).
