my Passion is the arts and my inspiration is the environment. My calling is to educate, inspire, and heal individuals through the art and nature.

I love the many unique environment we have on this planet. The world' s complexity and beauty has always had me mesmerized. My mother once told me that when i was 8 years old, I sat watching the sunset over the ocean. when the last light disappeared below the horizon I said "I wish i could paint the sunset with as many beautiful colors the sky can make." These words were the beginning to my additional passion. My loving mother bought me several fine art mediums and matrirals to allow me to experiment. Today, I find great tranquility sitting deep into the natural world. I am filled with a tremendous joy when exploring and understanding the earth's many ecosystems. A great peace settles into me when sittinin the woods near a body of water with my chalk pastels and some paper. My goal in life is to share y experience with others, not only to heal and inspire, but to educate the people about how some ecosystems work and the importance of reservation and conservation. I feel many people are unaware of the simple ways an individual can help, and it starts in their homes and backyards. By offering classes in the all fields of arts and environmental science, and by invitig therepy groups to use my facilities, I hope to catch the interest of many people to experience what I have to offer.

My small house would be located on the sanctuary on my sanctuary, which would open to the public at dawn. In the morning, I would walk around my property gathering samples, checking habits and on my few rescued and rehabilitated animals. I'd spend some time updating myslf about new discoveries and events in the local area. that pertain to my field of study. I feel it is important to be prompt when responding to inquries involving my program, so I would check my email and mail. I would head over to me studio, behind my house, and prepare for my afternoon art, dance, and wrting classes. as the sun sets, I would ensure that all public members have returned to thier vehicles to head home. Once I have finished dinner with my family, I would get ready to teach my night classes, Creature of the night and The Sky is the Not Limit. Next, I would return to my house to enjoy my beloved home and its members . This would be my life in a nut shell. It may seem like a lot, however, much of what i have mentioned would be scattered throughout the week and months. This type of lifestyle would allow me to create my own schedule, be with my family, home school my children (if they wanted,) all while still doing everything I love. I used to call this job my dream; today, I call it my goal.

I am absolutely confused about how Gaia operates. How do I add my input on the community stuff??? How do I participate? For instance, I have no idea where this blog is going to go, other than my profile page. If this goes anywhere else please help me to understand.

There are so many that I express myself. Honestly, it really depends on what I'm trying to express. When I was coping with things that the most difficult, when my life wasn't mine anymore, when I could have lost everything important to me, I wrote poetry and short stories. I would write by hand and it was the only thing that could slow my thoughts down. when it's about my passions, I draw and paint. When my positive emotions are soaring I can not stop my body from breaking into dance and depending on the specific mood will determin the kind of dance I do. If i'm in love, I dance Ballet. if it's excitment, I dance hip-hop. If I feel free, I dance mordern jazz. if i reflect on joys memories, I dance in expressive movment! I would have never survived through the horrors I was faced in my life if it wasn't for creative expression. I would have never feel as connected as I do to passions without creative expression. some day, after finishing college, I will share my nsight on the beauty of one's personal creative expression.
