Once Upon a Time


Once upon a time in a far away land lived a girl in the kingdom of toilets that flushed the opposite way. It sometimes smacks me in the face when I am walking down the street in the morning and birds that I used to marvel at in the pet store and wonder... who would pay that much for a bird and then what do you do with it, fly around in flocks and have the most annoying call I have ever heard and I am reminded of that early nintendo game when you shot the ducks and the dog would run to fetch them. Sadly I own no gun and if it got right down to it I would not be able to do it, but I digress. The point is I live in Australia and I find it interesting to think I never dreamed in the years of lockers, SCA, cafeteria lunches, and ridiculous relationships that I would be a missionary in Australia. My dreams were only as big as my city and and a mediocre love. NOW I am alive I mean really and I am ravenous for truth and life. And it starts here when I can smell the most beautiful flowers, my favorite the frangipani, in my back yard. I watch people pass from death to life. I live a life of reality and passion, I hurt and love deeply, I discover a new piece of me daily, and I am well loved. How life unfolds sometimes... let it blow your mind!
