About Me

I am an explorer walking through a Vietnam jungle, stepping over the roots and limboing under exotic tree branches and climbing up lusciously green hills and wading through swamps with lurking monsters. I am a plane soaring through bright blue skies and bursting through puffy white clouds as a cool breeze is nudging me to beautiful worlds and I have this feeling of absolute freedom. I am a mermaid swimming with beautiful sea creatures and brushing my long wet hair on a big rock while giggling with my mermaid sisters about luring in the handsome sailors that sail by from unknown lands. I am a child making a sweet and innocent wish as I blow out the candles on my birthday cake and I truly believe this wish will come true because I am wishing and hoping with my whole being. I am a common house cat prowling outside waiting in the bushes, low to the ground and my pupils dilated as I eye an unsuspecting mouse that I will soon call my snack. I am the president right before going out to make an important speech and, though I have been in office for some time now, my nervousness has not diminished and I wonder if it ever will. I am a monkey at the zoo swinging on ropes and yelling with happiness for I love putting on a show for the  visitors because the attention is for me, the star of the show. I am a famous artist working on my next masterpiece and I do not know where I am going with it but I have such passion for my artwork that I am happy and content and excited about what it will become.
