Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I graduated from college in '07. I want to now travel as much as possible. I'd like to have long visits where ever I go in attempt to learn about a place through becoming a small part of it.
ABOUT ME
I don't know what to write. My last profile was written by a friend in Texas so I don't know how good I am at this. ~I'm kind of like a young grandma in that I am overly protective of all my friends and family. I try to take care of everyone despite my inability to do so. I like to cook and garden and sew and sit quietly and read. I spent the last six years mostly in New York, then several months back in Austin and the 8 months in Europe. I think I am a blend of A Rememberance of Things Past and Peter Pan.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to live my life kindly. I believe in being aware of the people around you and throughout the world and how we all effect each other.
