CURRENT MISSION

Be healthy, be present.

ABOUT ME

I value a good conversation more than almost anything else...except maybe a good panini. That's why I love to meet new people and hear their perspectives on the world. Or just kick it and talk about movies and books. I just graduated college, with a BA in economics. Now I am a student of the world. Current endeavors include: learning how to cook, how to travel light, and how to be a morning person.
Flexible vegetarian, drinker of so much water (most of us are dehydrated mos of the time).

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe that everything happens for a reason, but I believe that we can learn from everything that happens. I have recently discovered the overwhelming power of positivity and possibilities of neuroplasticity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lake Superior is an amazing sight. Your soul will never seem the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer a positive way of looking at a problem, how to make a paper crane, or how to loon call. I know some about Economics, poetry, and Permaculture.

I am open to learning anything that you have to share--a recipe, a meditation technique, or how to use a table saw.
