About Me

~The Definition of a Modern Renaissance Woman~

A woman who approaches life for the sole purpose of the experience.
She recognizes the benefit of broadening her horizons.
She acknowledges that learning is a lifetime endeavor.
She knows that true happiness results in finding balance.
She seeks beauty and wisdom in the unexpected and appreciates the little things.
She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances.

MY LIFE:

I am a modern renaissance woman striving to become self-actualized and artistically established. I hate materialism. The most precious things in life are priceless. I put more value on the world/people around me and the wealth of experience and challenges that comes my way.
My best feature is my smile and I LOVE to laugh. Sometimes at nothing at all. My aim is to project positive energy at all times. What makes me unique is my open-mindedness, eager aptitude for learning, my diverse repertoire of interests, and impulsivity.
I love to be active, social and on the go but, I also love relaxing and my own space. It's my dream to call NYC my permanent home while I travel and dwell in various cities around the world for various periods of time in my life.

MY ASPIRATIONS:

My main goals in life are to establish myself as a serial entrepreneur.
My 20s are devoted to graphic design/online publishing/web design and development.
My 30s will be devoted to fashion and writing. I want to create my own line of vintage and retro-inspired clothing and accessories with a modern edge.
My 40s - (hopefully I will have mad money by then) I will pursue my love of architecture by investing in urban development ventures that stimulate economic diversity in urban environments. I want to attack gentrification since I believe it's a ploy to push out the havenots to give more to the haves. It's ridiculous how city officials abandon neighborhoods until they find something profitable in it, then kick out all the people who've lived there just to boost the economy and line their coffers.
My 50s - I want to open an art/design conservatory devoted to spreading my legacy of learning and experience. It's follow along the lines of Fabrica without the age restrictions. People of all cultures, ages and experiences can come together and be creative.
After that I just want to bask in the glow of all that I have accomplished and inspire others to create their own legacy.

MY RELIGION:

I'm somewhat skeptical about organized religion. I don't believe in judgmental factions that oppose people and lifestyles dissimilar to their own. Someone who lives their life entirely from a book has no sense of reality or the world around them. I have no beef with any particular religion, because fanatics reside in all religions. However, I never knew how to articulate my spiritual beliefs into words until I saw Kingdom of Heaven. The hospitaler tells Orlando Bloom, after Bloom declares that he has lost his religion and therefore is outside of God's grace. The hospitaler replies that "I put no stock in religion. By the word, 'religion,' I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. Holiness is in right action and courage on the behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness-what god desires- is [in the heart] and [in the mind]. By what you decide to do everyday, you will be a good man... or not."
