One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise on the Ganges river, fishing for silver salmon in Alaska while being chased by grizzely bears, watching the dew form on Ladyslipper flowers in the early morning...

Teach, Learn, Share

One of the best things I ever did was go to India for 4 months. While there I was definatly stretched, excited to learn new ways of life, of new religions, a different way to dance, jam to music, create art, make a living, you name it. I took this spirit with me and have been shaped by it ever since. I'd say I'm a jack of many trades. I enjoy learning things, sharing what I know with others and taking advantage of the life I have. I've been told I make a mean batch of oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies and amazing pies... all of which I would be willing to share or make fresh.
