Well, it's over. My dad finally left for LA yesterday... I'll post an entry soon about every single thing that happened; I was writing it yesterday in my hotel room when the damn network started acting wack and I lost my whole entry!
Anyhow, today was spent mostly catching up with about 20 emails that arrived since Monday afternoon, working, working, working, and I come home to find a mysterious looking package from Wisconsin in the mail. It's my Stringworks Catalog in full living color! How timely is that? And I begin my cello lessons Thursday next week! I also opened up my mail to see that Janelle had written me to check on next week's lessons. Everything seems to be falling into place... Serendipity... I am so excited :)
One thing I'd like to talk about right now is the prospect of going to England in the next year or so. I and my dad had the opportunity to talk a lot about what I really want to do in life - what I feel is my personal legend. England kept popping up. And I suppose he took pity on my poor soul and offered to send me off to England next year or the year after just to check on the schools!!!! How cool is that?! I'll be staying about 2 weeks there checking out the different Universities I might want to study in, although I more or less know which one I want to go to. He does know that this is not a career move, necessarily, but something I feel I must do simply to complete me. It's my personal legend. I am doing it simply because I want to, for personal, and not career reasons. I'll see where I go from there, you know? All I know is I want to take it - and I have to because if I don't, I won't be fulfilling my purpose, I don't think. It'll be like Hector not wanting to face Achilles and him actually not doing it. The world would have been so different...
It is the deepest desire from the bottom of my heart and soul for me to go to England and take that degree. And it may just be like the case of the shepherd boy Tiago. He had to go to Egypt to see the pyramids, though his treasure may not have been there. What mattered was the journey and the experience. Ultimately, your gold may be somewhere else. Either way, I know my pyramids lie in England. Where I go from there depends on the clues I shall find and try to interpret with God's guidance.
Sigh. I'm so excited.
"Nothing's perfect," sighed the fox. "My life is monotonous. I hunt chickens; people hunt me. All chickens are just alike, and all men are just alike. But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I'll know the sound of footsteps that will be different from all the rest. Other footsteps send me back underground. Yours will call me out of my burrow like music. And then, look! The wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you. And I'll love the sound of the wind in the wheat..."
About Me

- I am a person with a wide variety of interests looking to take on the world. I have a love for travel and adventure, and am always looking to make a positive impact in whatever I do. My interests range from the arts (literature, movies, and theatre) to various "sports" - scuba diving, target shooting, sailing, and parasailing. I'm spiritual, driven, fun, family and friend oriented, and love being with people who inspire and seek to make a positive difference in the world. And I'm still trying to learn about myself, about acceptance, forgiveness, hope, and love.
