What is your biggest strength?
Conviction. My ability to stand up for what I believe in...even when that means standing alone.
Biggest weakness / challenge?
I struggle with asking for help. Also I have a fair amount of Clint, lots of Ghandi, but usually low on curly. I also struggle with time management.
What do you want the men to know about you?
I enjoy fire arms, snow boarding, fishing, hiking, and I am an avid movie watcher with a pretty extensive collection. I also enjoy collecting music, and sports of all kinds.
What do you NOT want the men to know about you?
I grew up in Lennox ( the Hood ). When I was 12, I was molested in a dirt field by a young black man. He said he was going to kill me, I'm grateful he didn't.
What is the most impactful advice that you have ever received?
To trust myself, to trust others and to recognize the abundance that I already have in my life.
Which book has had the biggest impact on your life and how?
This is very hard for me because I love books and have many that have impacted my life. I feel the Bible and Book of Mormon helped me to think of this world in a much deeper way and to realize that there is more beyond this life. I realized that I am a spiritual being having a physical experience.
I also truly loved " Sidartha " by Herman Hess. I felt a kinship to Sidartha as I too was the good boy following all the rules and trying to connect all the pieces. I too became lost in my desires and indulgences and have now found a much deeper meaning and purpose for my life and have released a lot of judgement.
" Peace is Every Step " By Thich Nhat Hanh has taught me much about being present and connected to everything around me and about the importance of staying connected through my breath.
