About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keeping my feet in the beat.

ABOUT ME

twenty something explorer. wanderer. lover of random inner city bus rides. crack-in-the-pavement lover. reader of the space between the lines and the love behind the eyes... searching for real human connection and to break down all the walls i've built up over the years to find what that really means. singer, dancer, usually in grocery store aisles (ESPECIALLY) and appreciator of the old and young, and those in between who carry a little bit of child and little bit of old soul in them :)

PHILOSOPHY

feel the earth under your feet.
quiet your soul.
feel the heartbeat of the world.
know that your heart beat
is meant to be here.
now.
