Creating:

Phase 1

I plan to go to college this coming fall for a 2 year diploma in writing and publishing. This will allow me to work as a free-lance writer, on my own schedule, from anywhere in the world.

Phase 2

The flexible schedule will allow me to continue working so that I may attend University for a BA with a double major in archaeology and philosophy. My two years of college will be credited as my first year of University, so I will only have 3 years of the 4 year program. My summers will be spent on University excavation sites around the world.

Phase 3

I will work my way up the ladder to the point of leading expeditions. I will continue writing about my discoveries and experiences, hopefully getting published. I plan to go back to University "when the time is right", to get my doctorate with some focus on religious studies and quantum physics.

Phase 4

With my newfound knowledge I will gain a unique perspective and begin take my studies indoors. I will spend my days thinking in abstract theory with the hopes of finding some universal common ground that will abolish intolerance on a massive level.

Of course, I do realise that the universe may change it's plan for me at any given moment. In any effect, I'm sure it will be fabulous as long as I stay fluid ;)

Awakening:
My spiritual growth really started to bloom when I was 16 and left the church. I had a desire for spirituality in my life, but the dogma didn't sit well with my rebellious side. I began an independant study of religion and spiritual teachings from all over the world. This is an endlessly fascinating topic to me, and I love to learn about the differences and inherent similarities in world spiritual beliefs.
