ABOUT ME

I know I'm here to change the world. We all are. In the past five years, I've decided to actively pursue what that means. My target is to be fully present with everyone - including myself. It's a simple thing I can gift to myself and others.

I recently decided that it was time to start living my life with people and opportunities that give me joy....everything else got the boot. Amazing how different my world and "work" has become.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I live in a the heart of wine country in Southern Oregon. What better place to invite people to? It's also the heart of the only county in Oregon that is GMO free - something very hard fought for. I'm glad to be the tour guide and meet new people.

Interests

Being present with myself is my new hobby. It's such a habit to slip from the moment to what happened yesterday (that doesn't matter anymore), and what will happen tomorrow, (which is still evolving and changing).
I spend time doing fun technology and marketing for an organization I love working with and throw in all kinds of new adventures. My latest adventure is learning how to horseback ride. Whoa! So much more than learning about riding in that!

Music, Movies, and Books

My brother introduced me to some of my favorite musicians. Most are blues or country. Crooked Still, Professor Longhair, The Gin Blossoms, are just a few.

I love movies and books about real people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moment that I realized that the Red Pill/Blue Pill scenario in The Matrix is true.
Getting that true joy is easier than what I was choosing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a process called The Bars. It is an Access Consciousness technique that facilitates the letting go of old thoughts and feeling that no longer work for you. It's also been used around the world to reduce PTSD symptoms.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in the 'mountains' of Southern Oregon. It's hard to call them that since I used to live in Colorado. I can share the local music hangouts, wineries, and in the Summer, the world's best swimming hole.
