DEFINITION.
Too many authors of web sites have their own page which is labeled as a "biography" where they write the description about themself. A biography is a review of you, done by someone else. An autobiography is your story, told by you.

This is my story.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
This is me--what makes me who I am. This page is about my beliefs, my goals, my aspirations. Its about the person I present everyday to those I work with, love, and cherish. This is a representation of me without the masks.

This part of the web site was inspired by a very special group I've been with for many years now that have helped me delve deeper into my spiritual/inner world. They don't all meet as a group, but instead are the people I see as "coaches" as I live. This is dedicated to those who have helped me to live, learn, and grow. I thank and love you all so very much--you know who you are.

This is not a literary piece of art. This is not written as a scholarly piece. This is me talking to you. This is me forgetting the rules of grammar, the rules of ettiquette, the rules of rules.

WHO AM I?
I see myself as one who is different from social groups. I am not in a social group--never have been. I am instead an outsider with a unique view. I see through other people's eyes. I hear through other people's ears. I'm a listener, an understander, a helper. While I'm not one of those people who say nothing or speak very quietly, I am someone who sees things outside the box.

This is what I see

We all want to be and feel very special, very unique.
We love when others make us feel good, and feel bad when we know we're deserving of it, yet do not receive. At the same time, we are very focused in our own world, our own goals, our own personalities and traits. So focused that we often times pass over the "little things" that make life so great.

None of us are alike.
Although we'd like to think we're the same as the next guy when it comes to dying our hair, getting the same kind of shoes or clothes. We were made to be genuine. We were made to be very special. That's why we each have a different fingerprint, why we all have unique DNA. But try telling that to the followers of the Spice Girls or the mass numbers of people buying platform shoes.

We crave attention.
We can't get enough of it. Yet, we don't often give enough attention. I've seen two people who have known each other for a long time just walk past one another and not even make eye contact, yet they saw the other one coming.

We remember our history in stories.
Studies show people remember things in stories. Our life is one big story, broken down into chapters called years, then sections called months, to paragraphs called days, then sentences called hours, and words called minutes. The key is to take each word, find or know its meaning, then move onto the next one without anticipation or expectations. True happiness is remembering the past, but not living in it. True happiness is understanding the past for a more hopeful future. As one of my best college instructors taught me, "understand the past, or you are doomed to repeat it."

We want more than anything to be loved.
We want someone to deeply care about us--whether its our parents, our boyfriend/girlfriend, our husband/wife, or even our best friend. We'll convince ourselves its real when sometimes its really not.

Our body wants, more than ever, for us to love it.
Our body is willing to take us on a spiritual journey of a lifetime--it wants us to use it to its full potential. A recent study says everyday, people use 10% (or less) of their potential thinking capacity. Imagine how much more we could use if we took care of our bodies by feeding it the right foods, healthy exercise and social involvement, a time of being silent everyday, etc.

We do things we don't like doing.
There are some people on planet Earth who absolutely despise their job. Yet when an opportunity comes around for change, they pass it by. Some people actually fear success or a better life.

We make decisions in wierd ways.
In America, there are people who do not watch the evening news or read a newspaper. They have no idea what is going on in the world, or what stance they are taking on the issue. And they don't care. Yet, they vote in elections and comment to others about the issue in casual conversation like they are experts.

People are weird.
They sit on trains and airplanes in mass numbers and do not say anything to each other. They know every catch-phrase from Seinfeld, yet do not know who is called the "father of our country." They consume things that are poisionous for their bodies and call it a "good time."
