About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Beauty isn't only pleasant to the eye, but it is the essence that helps us to live more productive and happy lives.

ABOUT ME

I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance.

PHILOSOPHY

Authentically LOVE

Interests

I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you.
