A self-defining declaration
(a little bit of who I am mixed with a little bit of who I'd like to be)

I am strong, emotionally and physically. I am capable of many things, and my determination carries me places I want to go. I enjoy intellectual pursuits and using my mind to solve puzzles and investigate questions. I am an explorer and researcher, interested in finding new ways of being, and in understanding myself and the world around me (especially people). I value beauty and comfort, and take time to enjoy sensual pleasures as well.

I am passionate, and I use that passion to accomplish things in the world, and to further understanding and justice for myself and those around me, especially those who might be less able to effect change for themselves yet. I am a leader, helping myself and others to accomplish the tasks and goals we identify for ourselves.

I am compassionate, kind, and a good listener. Other people value what I have to say, and the work that I do. This value can take the form of words, money, and/or other tangible or intangible rewards. I am good with words, and take pleasure in writing, speaking, and communicating my thoughts and feelings, and helping others to do the same.

I am committed to creating family, extended family, and community. I have an amazing amount of love in my life, and I take time to appreciate it and enjoy it. I believe the capacity of the heart to love is infinite, and the forms love can take are limited only by my imagination. I enjoy spending time with friends and family members, doing things that we all enjoy, as well as accomplishing tasks necessary for the running of our household(s) and lives.

I strive to accept my body as it is, even while I also work to honor it and treat it well through good foods and joyful movement. I enjoy expressing my creativity through the clothes that I wear. I also enjoy music and dance, and find ways to express my creativity there, and through many other avenues.
