About me

Gender Female
Location Traverse City, MI, United States
Introduction I am an independent, adventurous and complex woman, whether that is attributed to my being a Scorpio, a woman or merely a human being, I am still trying to figure that out! But I do know that Life IS an Adventure and I am not afraid to stand on the edge or dive deeply.

My belief is, if we are not enjoying the ride of life and smelling the roses along the way, we are missing the Big Picture! In the long run, I want to live long and healthy and die with the nectar of love, adventure and peace running down my chin. I want to take hold of the tiger's tail and run in circles as she attempts to devour me. I want to dive deeply, love passionately and die knowing I gave it my all because it's all I had to give. In the end, that is what will matter to me.

There is a line from the lyrics "Black Masks and Gasoline" by Rise Against that says "Simply because you can breathe, doesn't mean you're alive, or that you really live"...so many people are simply breathing and wondering where their life is. Life is what YOU make it! I'm breathing it in til death forces me to exhale...
