CURRENT MISSION

To be intentional in all my actions. To dance and laugh everyday.

ABOUT ME

"I like shorelines, weather fronts, and international borders. There are interesting frictions and incongruities in these places and, often, if you stand at the point of tangency, you can see both sides better than if you were in the middle of either"
[Anne Fadiman]

PHILOSOPHY

never stop asking questions. chocolate, wine or coffee will make it better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Neared the End of the World in El Chalten/Calafate, Argentina. Hiking around Patagonia to the bases of ancient glaciers was spectacular. It solidified my internal urge to be near mountains at least every 3 months, if not every day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good cook and hablo espanol...two things I'm happy to share/teach. I'd love to learn French, some new yoga moves, and try to wrap my head around all the technology that I use but am clueless as to its functioning...like this macbook!
