CURRENT MISSION

Almost manic enjoyment of my life

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Denver, I was away for 6 years. I love Denver for the way I can face the sun everyday and feel life's rhythm. I have been resting in the knowledge and power of being well-loved by a family. I wish I ate breakfast more regularly.

PHILOSOPHY

We can do the difficult work of loving one another. "The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war." Love wins.
