About me:

I'm a writer. I'm a reader. I'm an optimist and an activist.

I keep a blog about human rights, politics, and humanitarian issues. It consumes most of my free time as of late. http://caraobrien.tumblr.com/

I live in a truly lovely small town in Michigan, the kind of place where you don't have to lock your doors at night and strolling along downtown at 2AM is perfectly safe. I moved here from Florida last year and I'm enjoying my stay, even though I could do without all the snow.

I'm kind of a hippie.

....

Who I'd like to meet:

People that want to change the world.

People that live by their beliefs.

People that have open minds.

People that believe in peace.
