About Me

My photo
Native Austinite. Well educated.. always learning in my own way. Strong-willed & opinionated. I believe in making a difference. I believe in making myself a better person.. in my own eyes, not the eyes of society.
Mainstream society, and the social mores it professes to hold as "normal," "average," etc. are all hogwash as far as I'm concerned. I am very much a "trail blazer" and I live my life that way.

If you want to know more.. ask me :)

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting. - e.e. cummings

Cocoon to Butterfly...



I have no problem "pushing the envelope"... always stretching my comfort zone, skirting the edge, even stepping outside of it.. "Why" you ask? because I stayed inside of it far, far too long.

Years ago, someone I love very much and greatly respect got me to take a long look at my self..
more than once. I got tired of sitting on the sidelines of Life, I was long overdue for getting into the game... so I (finally) did... and here I am!

------------------------------------------------

By day ... I'm a policy analyst. I pursue my duties with the same passion and enthusiasm as always. I do it for the children of the State of Texas. In my spare time... I am an activist.. I pursue issues regarding social justice, education, and politics. I also like to have fun… recently started to learn merengue and salsa dancing, also enjoy watching not-so-mainstream films, learning about varied events, working on/expanding my network, and working on my personal politics. I'm also a fledgling blogger!!

I am now more apt to actually seize the day (or maybe just a moment), than just say it..

I have always believed in making a difference, I honestly believe I am doing that even more now.. although my methods are.. unique.



There is just so much I like, enjoy, and delight in.. I have a multi-faceted personality, just as a diamond has many sides... not everyone sees all of me, not everybody should.
