America the Beautiful

♫ Stand by Me ♪ ♫


One day, my best friend and I ventured into the vast unknown. Running barefooted down the path of reckless abandon with but a guitar and a few nursing textbooks, we hid ourselves in the forgotten crevasses of Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs. Making music below blue skies and the majesty which is Pikes Peak, we made the most of each moment on that September 11th day, year 2010.

'Vamos a orar por la paz'

'Let us pray for the peace'

'Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.' -Walt Disney

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. 

People are always wishing they could re-live their lives, when, 'The greatest thing about life is that you can constantly re-invent yourself.'

Quote from The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

"She moved to The Keys, one of the few American Hotels on Grand Anse, and stayed for seven weeks, doing little more than walking on the beach and eating the local fruit, called 'chin-ups', which reminded her of sour Swedish gooseberries- she found them delightful."

Outlaw goes Proper

I like my voicemail. It's silly and unfinished, trailing off with laughter versus a polite, "please leave your message at the tone."
I like playing. Football, tag, pretend, or piano; I like to play.
I like music boxes. My parents had to pay for a spinning Santa I broke at Christmas time back in the '90s. It's lost in a storage unit now.
I like to enjoy life with my neighbors and believe those we haven't been introduced to are simply friends we haven't had the pleasure of meeting -yet.
I like to promote peace and love...

I like doing well at my work. I don't like chasing jobs and wondering if my silly, unfinished voicemail will be the reason an employer tosses my résumé to the bottom of the pile.
