"Life is good...Do what you like. Like what you do. Be true to yourself."
Spending time with my boy searching for agates and beach glass and other neat rocks along Lake Superior's shores, yoga, coffee - Duluth's Alakef roasts, dark roasts or amaretto lattes or a mocha, Choxie Espresso Truffle bars from Target, hiking and walks in the woods or by the lake, bonfires, night swimming in Lake Superior, camping, my slow yet progressive transitions to living more 'green', getting in the car and driving to no where in particular, our trip to Yellowstone National Park, off-roading in my Toyota Corolla, scents of patchouli, sandalwood, green tea and clove, a rare treat of St. Pauli Girl Special Dark or a bottle of Rum or Tequila, and taking time for myself, or weekends when we can just lounge somewhere quiet and peaceful with a book and some coffee or with a movie and popcorn (for example) and just be.

My world view:
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.What is Your World View? created with QuizFarm.com

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Creator has promised good to me,
Her Word my hope secures;
She will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
And, When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
You're so intuitive, it's like you have a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense.
You connect with others freely and easily - and you tend to have many best friends.
Warm and caring, it's hard for you to close your heart to anyone.
Affection is like air for you - you need to give and receive it to survive.
Your wise quote is: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall" by Confucius. Yes indeed, you see true strenght can only be seen when a person has "fallen". Only then one can tell how they will handle it. Just don't make others fall so you can know who they really are. You on the other hand may be a very quick recoverer and don't let people bring you down. You are your own, and you're find with that. Emotional issues is something you handle rather nicely. Take this quiz!
Maybe you're looking for love...
But mostly you're looking for fun.
You could get serious with the right person.
For now, though, you're enjoying playing the field.
hey grace! i wana talk to you bout my schooling.. im scared that this isnt what i wana do fer the rest of my life n that im jus waisting money that i dont have.. but idk wt else i would do or wt else id be interested in.. idk im freakin out bout it right now. call me when you get a chance k
me rory and em are doin great. i havent really seen to much of anyone else ive been working every weekend so yea. but this saturday i have off i think me rory and emily are going to wisconsin to a grad party. thats cool u guys got a dog. i bet river loves that. i have a college tour tomorrow at regency its my bday tomorrow 2. well hey hopefully we see u this weekend. WE MISS U GUYS!
Hey Grace - Yeah I hear ya on the break from school..that is always nice! well Life is busy as always on this end.. getting kirsten ready for kindergaten, took a trip to sprigfield ill and went camping in hibbing. This weekend kirsten and i tryed to catch some fish and got the garden planted. Hope you enjoy your summer break. keep in touch
It's at the DECC. I guess parking might be an issue cuz some spaces are closed off or something but they have another lot with a shuttle going to and from it. They do BS degrees last and in alphabetical order so I'm in like the last 100 out of 600 some peeps - probably boring so I don't mind if you have other stuff to do. I just might have to keep that nanny deal in mind. Maybe not move up to Duluth ;) but I could probably spend a couple days a week up there and work on some homework. I'm actually thinking of going casual at work when I go back for my masters and just work when I have time to if they need me, so it's a possibility. What are you talking about anyways, River's going to be practically self-sufficient by then, lol. how crazy is that?!
Thanks! It's been crazy...I'm sure you can relate. I'm walking May 10th (up in Duluth) if you wanna come. That is if they still have a cap and gown for me. When are you done with your program? I think I'm going to take a year off and then do the Nurse Practitioner program with CSS. That one is on campus roughly once a week though...Ironic that you are coming down here and I will be going up there...Hope life is slowing down a little for you.
Yeah Brace yourselves for that storm. We're down here doing the snow daynce hopeing to get a day off tomorrow too. Missing you guys!! Our break is coming up after this week so maybe we can gather at your new place for a bit?
