move from the heart

ABOUT ME

I think that a sense of humor is one of the most necessary keys to enjoying life...When we can laugh, we can flow, and when we can flow then we can be free to enjoy all the gifts of the present moment...in a less "serious" and "tried" sort of way... I'm a pretty good cook. A drinker of tea and various fermented brews...hmm Enthusiastic helper of sorts... some would probably call me somewhat eccentric or kind of weird. They're probably right.

... conscious raising...

...dancer, writer, free-spirited, sarcastic, idealist, progressive, earthy...
