About
A dreamer, former artistic figure skater & ice dancer, and now a beginner photographer & aspiring artist and filmmaker. A homebody who also loves to spend time outdoors, exploring. Avid film, movie, and documentary viewer. Chocolate connoisseur & tea enthusiast. Appreciator of beautiful music, fine art & photography, and whimsical daydreams. Would love to be a sophisticated and elegant world traveler, but have yet to afford it. Star-gazer, kite-flier, lover of animals and nature, and hopefully a joyful encourager. A lady who loves Jesus and all He's done and created for her.

Quotes
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 4:12
"You are so young, you have not even begun, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that is unsolved in your heart and to try to cherish the questions themselves, like closed rooms and like books written in a very strange tongue. Do not search now for the answers which cannot be given you because you could not live them. It is a matter of living everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, one distant day live right into the answer." ~ R.M. Rilke

As soon as the page loaded I saw it said your name was Melody and then you had a Scripture talking about "harmony" in the very first line. And this made me laugh.
