CURRENT MISSION

to lose and find myself somewhere different everyday

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-hearted and free spirited person who thrives on being carried by the unknowns and mysteries of life. I love people! I love their stories, their subtleties, and the courageous and beautiful moments that arise from day to day. I enjoy sharing a chat, a giggle, a hug, some delicious food, a walk in the park/around town/up a mountain/in the woods. I am creative and really enjoy listening to and making music. I think creativity extends to all aspects of living, so I can generally find artistic inspiration in many situations. I'm very easy going and can get along with lots of different kinds of people.

PHILOSOPHY

One of the most important things for me is living in the present moment. I try to be an open, caring, and giving person and roll with life as it unfolds. Challenges are always good as they can push you further then you thought possible, and I'm realizing that limits are only as restrictive as you let them be. I deeply value my friends and family, they are amazing gifts...remember to always give them the love they deserve. Play and creativity are wise ways of being that I enjoy beyond words.
