I LOVE surrounding myself with people who challenge me to grow, by the way that they live... those who introduce me to perspectives and experiences that I might not have otherwise known. Show me something new. :)

I LOVE the feel of side-splitting laughter and captivating dialogue, so when I can get them both in the same room, you've made my day. :)

While I LOVE to talk, listen and understand, I LIVE beyond the surface - where few others dare to tread! ... Can YOU swim? :)

I LOVE being in spaces that encourage me to be myself! :)

My iPod is filled with Beyonce, The Beatles, Santogold, Aerosmith, Biggie Smalls, Omega, Little Brother, The YellowJackets, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Good Charlotte, Mary Mary, Coldplay, Talib Kweli, Portishead, Carrie Underwood, Jay-Z, The Eagles, Slum Village, Ben Folds, Amy Winehouse, Dixie Chicks, Black Eyed Peas and Lil' Wayne, to name a few. If I'm missing someone good, put me on! :)

I value sincerity, so keep it real! :)

.... so let me know WHO you are!!

P.S. If not evident by all the smiles, my glass is ALWAYS half-full. ;)
