CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

You'll find me frolicking in the flowers, inhaling the aroma of jasmine and lavender tea, losing myself in books, gardens and art, and dreaming of far away places and untold adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself"
Carl Sagan

I'm an inebriated flower who howls at the moon.
I hear the ocean whisper my name and I fall asleep in her arms.
