CURRENT MISSION

I attract and am attracted to the people, places, and situations, that help me to grow spiritually. When the student is ready, a teacher appears.

ABOUT ME

I was born to travel, of that I am sure. I grew up fascinated with the ancient mysteries of the earth and have dedicated my life to pursuing them in their many forms.

I have a younger brother with 2 daughters, an angel of a mom, dad, an awesome dog, and MANY great friends in Baton Rouge, LA that I love and sorely miss.

I have lived in Louisiana, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oregon; Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru, and Ecuador.

I love the ocean and anything I can do in it: snorkeling, diving, fishing, sailing, etc. I love climbing and going places I'm not supposed to. I love a challenge, and fixing things. I love games of all kinds and good, deep conversation. I have a very active sense of humor and am very good at reading other people.

I've had a varied work history that has given me a wide range of job and social skills and has made me very well rounded in the process. I can get along with just about anyone, and usually do.

PHILOSOPHY

What you feel is a perfect reflection of what is becoming. We all manifest our lives with our thoughts and emotions, every second of every day. No exceptions. We are all energy, beings of spirit having a human experience on this beautiful planet we barely understand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked 20km from the hydroelectric dam on the Urubamba river in Peru to Aguas Calientes. The next morning, I woke at 4am and began a 6km hike, rising 640m to reach Machu Picchu, the sacred city of the Incas. About an hour after entering the park I then climbed another 3km, rising 300m to the summit of Huayna Picchu, ancient home of the city's high priest, gaining an overhead view of the city in the clouds. At the end of that day I walked back down to Aguas Calientes and ate the first meal since before the hydroelectric dam. At 7am the next morning, I walked the 20km back to the dam and took a taxi to Santa Maria, where I took a 6 hour bus back to Cusco. On the way back, a rockslide came down a mountainside literally right in front of our bus! All the guys on the bus got out and once the rocks stopped moving, we cleared a path for the bus by hand. The bus made it through our little cleared path and so did a small van coming from the other direction. Then more rocks fell, many bigger ones, and closed the gap back behind us. Muddied, high on adrenaline, and happy to be alive, we all climbed back on the bus and were cheered by all the women onboard for saving the day :-D

Best 3 days of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am skilled in:
computer/network construction/maintenance/repair, basic web design, graphic design, carpentry, light electrical, simple mechanics. I also have a knack for learning to do things quickly and being able to turn around and teach those things to others a way they can understand.

I am always interested in learning more about any kind of healing art, and am also interested in learning new creative outlets for my energy. I taught myself to play the didgeridoo and would love for someone who is more experienced to show me some new stuff. I am also interested in learning how to play the guitar, if anyone is patient enough :)
