CURRENT MISSION

To grow, learn and teach with an open heart and mind; to leave behind a trace of Carliness as I drift through this world. To bring out the best in myself and others.

ABOUT ME

I'm a sensitive, easygoing optimist who finds inspiration in nature, music, travel, my friends and family, psychology and my gorgeous blue peugeot 3-speed bicycle to name a few. I live for new experiences that have something to teach me about this earthly existence and how I fit into it. I love making new friends and believe that everyone has something unique and beautiful to share if given the opportunity.

Interests

Music (guitar, piano, harp, singing)
art (modern art, stained glass, metalsmithing, pottery), travel, foreign language, culinary arts, snowboarding, yoga, gardening, cycling, philosophy, psychology, ecology/conservation, fermentation/homebrewing to name a few
