taking the plunge! :-)

“What is a wizard? Not someone who can simply perform magic but someone who can cause transformation.

A wizard can turn fear to joy, frustration to fulfillment.
A wizard can turn the time-bound into the timeless.
A wizard can carry you beyond limitations into the boundless.”

“It is our choices that show us who we truly are, far more then our abilities.”

Ever since I was a little kid I've been an adventurer. Always exploring and pushing boundaries with an insatiable curiosity for everything around me. I've always been amazed by Mother Nature and her cycle of life, living day by day and loosing myself completely in what I love most and what I stand for. Seeing the beauty in little things. Choosing my own ways and taking my time. Facing life, sharing life, embracing life. Living life now, being free. That's who I am. I feel blessed to be surrounded by many beautiful people, and I'm looking forward to meeting many more!

I've almost finished college studying Biology (teacher) & Environmental Education and I'm really curious to find out what's next. It's quite scary, there could be plenty of possibilities. I've promised myself to not exclude anything and to have an open mind towards everything that comes my way

“open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn your free
look into your heart and you'll find
love”


Risk
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk being called sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams in front of a crowd is to risk being called naive.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair, to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greates risk in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing and becomes nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited his freedom.
Only the person who risks is truly free.
