CURRENT MISSION

getting some fun out of life.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Washington DC and lived there for nineteen years before moving to Philadelphia in 2005. I'm currently spending a semester abroad in Roma. I'm at my most beautiful when I'm warm, happy and content - surrounded by kind people, in wonderful places. I work hard, and survive on a vegetarian diet.

I love sharing, learning, making lists and handwriting letters. I enjoy quiet days, and slow mornings, walking, parks, old books, kites and tea. I like having a good time, especially at shows, dance parties, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

the miracle is love
