About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

**in san francisco for the spring**

I'm a San Franciscan who lived in New York and has moved to SLC to pursue an education in nursing.

I love to meet new people and learn of new cultures and their history. I travel a fair amount and I am thankful for all the support I've received. It's time for me to give back!! I have a couch/room available in SLC and would like to host.

More Tid-bits of information about me to interject some color in this black and white print...enjoyed a 3 month trip in Mexico alone, I love to bake, Iâ

PHILOSOPHY

"The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day.

The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become.

Your integrity is your destiny ...
it is the light that guides your way."

Teach, Learn, Share

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without
the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him.

He must create,must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.
