About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

i'm fascinated by many things; love many things: people, culture, community, new ideas, coffee, music, writing, activism, campfires, visiting friends, gut-splitting laughter, camping, red wine, sunshine, languages, painting, beaches, debating politics, writing, beer, composting, concerts, oceans, taking photos, riding my bike, walking, getting stranded in rainstorms, exploring new cities, mountains, being outside, poetry, theatre, dancing...
I am blessed to live with the one I love and our little ones!

PHILOSOPHY

i dwell in possibility- Emily Dickinson
