CURRENT MISSION

Living every moment completely... and trying to be creative daily, even if I have to be grown up and have a real job.

ABOUT ME

I've been a teacher, artist, seamstress and worked in the land of admin. I am a passionate follower of Jesus and my faith defines my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Lake Michigan frozen at midnight under a full moon. It looked like a field of diamonds, rough cut and dangerous.... I can't even describe it, no matter how hard I try. The silence was deafening, the vision surreal and the lighting better than the best black and white photos you have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Write everyday, even if you don't think you are a writer. Memory is faulty and what seemed completely unforgettable two weeks ago may never make it through your thoughts again.
