About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

ABOUT ME

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I come to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms..."

-Henry David Thoreau

*I love all people. But I most enjoy the company of intelligent, creative, exuberant and open-minded ones with a sense of humor that matches my own.

*My most favorite activities are the ones that can be done outdoors. Hiking, camping, swimming, running, climbing and all that.

*If you'll make a donation to Greenpeace you'll have a special place in my heart.

*I rock creative cooking....but I'm absolutely incapable of following a recipe.

*I often wonder why society is constructed in a way to teach us to obtain our wishes in exchange for our dreams.

*I Love Plants: observing, nurturing, painting, surrounding myself with, cooking, baking, eating, giving, receiving, smelling, climbing, planting

..and since you're already reading:

*On average 41096 children die from hunger every day. For what we pay for 3 beers could feed a kid for a month www.feedthechildren.org"

*There have been more than 250 major wars since the end of World War II, resulting in over 23 million casualties. In today’s wars, 90 percent of casualties are civilians, 75 percent of whom are women and children; a century ago, 90 percent of war casualties were soldiers. Women are disproportionately affected by war and civil strife. They are targeted for ethnic cleansing and subjected to rape as a tool of war. A very little financial assistance would help them, help their families and their communities to get back on their feet:

PHILOSOPHY

“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.”
Sydney J. Harris
