CURRENT MISSION

letting go of the past.....

ABOUT ME

I like everything that is creative and anything that I can do with my hands. Pottery, painting, cooking, drawing, DIY repairs, gardening, photography, auto repair, you name it. I also like anything that involves the use of my body (i.e., yoga, pilates, hiking, etc). I also like languages. I speak English and I am working on speaking better French. I am also learning Catalan and Italian. So, if anyone would like to give me lessons...:). I also like to travel. I have been to Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, England, Germany, Mexico, and 44 of the 50 states in the USA. I am also planning to move to Catalunya and buy a flat somewhere in the Empordà.

Now, my primary interest is photography. I am self taught but I would like to work with a professional to learn some tricks :)

PHILOSOPHY

Love someone truly, honestly, deeply and completely. Forgive. Dare to dream. Risk something. Give endlessly. Seek knowledge and understanding. Remember to show Love...again and again and again.
