CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I enjoy a good pair of shoes, listen to somebody sing and play music, trees and water flowing, I am always wondering about something and I keep losing my keys, two things not entirely unrelated.coffee is my main guilty pleasure. I wish I could quit. And yet...

PHILOSOPHY

life is a journey - a long way home.
Learn who you are and where you come from.
I am Catholic, so that's my philosophy.
