ABOUT ME

"I am a woman giving birth to myself."

I like learning, teaching and growing. I enjoy adventures and strong connections with people/the world. I give a firm handshake and tight hugs. I want to know you.

"I've been homesick for countries I've never been, and longed to be where I couldn't be."
-John Cheever

PHILOSOPHY

"Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger. Forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart."
-Jim Henson

and

"“I won't leave my heart behind me, as they say in love letters. No, I am going to carry it with me over the mountains, because I need it, always. I am a nomad, not a farmer. I am an adorer of the unfaithful, the changing, the fantastic. I don't care to secure my love to one bare place on this earth. I believe what we love is only a symbol."
- Hermann Hesse
