CURRENT MISSION

Be lively like the sort of person living life should be. Be life-like. Like life. Live in a rather lively manner.

ABOUT ME

I'm a reader, writer, artist, swimmer, flyer, dancer, lover, liker, nature hugger, city slicker, mountain hopper, coffee drinker, soul searcher, lake bottom adventurer, empathetic listener, with a vague idea of what she's trying to do on this earth.

Right now I have the greatest job I could ever ask for in NYC managing a super awesome coffeeshop in the West Village. And then sometimes I'm traveling. It's a pretty good life.

PHILOSOPHY

This is your life. Do whatever the hell you want to do with it.
