I am still working towards my goal and one step closer to having my own private practice. i am easy going and laid back. i love the simple things in life and can adjust to any given situation. i love basketball, football, baseball, and wrestling. i love to laugh and i am learning everday that laughter is good medicine. i am a very hardworking woman, honest, and goal oriented i know what i want out of life.i know they say a picture is worth a thousand words but personality and character is worth a million words. dont be afraid to get to know me .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. ................... I just wanted to share this with you: characteristics for defining real love: a) you cannot love another person unless you first love yourself, b) love is a choice that you make, c) love is not easy, it requires work, d) there is no such thing as a soul mate, e) love is both a selfish and non-selfish act, f) if you love someone, you are able to live without them, you simply choose not to; needing someone is not the same as loving them, g) due to the extension of the ego boundaries the more you love an individual the more blurred the distinction between yourself and the outside world becomes, and h) you cannot make someone happy just by loving them, in turn, you can not depend upon them for your happiness.
