CURRENT MISSION

Live, explore, dance, learn, laugh, love, make music

ABOUT ME

I am interested in music, traveling, sharing thoughts, ideas, musings, rants, raves, stories, songs, food. I like cooking (and eating), dancing, and laughing. I like putting my life (and our collective species) into perspective, small beautiful planet in a big big universe. I like meeting new people, being honest, being silly, expanding consciousness, laying on the beach, reading, poetry, spiritual wanderings, giving love and compassion to myself and to all beings. I am interested in traveling eastward to India and Asia. I am interested in power, energy, THe Earth--the body--the human experience..all of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good. Follow the path with a heart. Live with honesty and humility. Respect yourself, your bodymindspirit, and all beings. Be compassionate, and do your best to understand, expand your mind, take risks, seek truth, seek love.
