CURRENT MISSION

Find appreciation, creativity and beauty in all things. Yes, all things.

ABOUT ME

I love life, people, experiences of all variations, and learning. I hula hoop frequently. I'm learning the banjo slowly (psych - Every day I just look at a banjo propped up next to a pair of cowboy boots). I explore the city often.

PHILOSOPHY

"The quality of your life is determined by how you feel at any given moment. How you feel is determined by how you interpret what is happening around you, not by the events themselves."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in the value of word-of-mouth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some people I know use it frequently, and I often say, "I should really do that..."

Interests

Color-coding items on calendars, buying presents, all things organization, remembering Mitch Hedberg, putting puzzles together, layering clothes, hanging out by the fire with my family listening to Celtic music, pin-up girls, vaudevillians, steampunk design, going too far, craftsmanship, Norman Rockwell, decoupage, riding my bike, altering my perception, brunch, dreaming of Casanova, making cards, being an aunt, and theories of human nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

Listening to music. I like listening to music. I just read a Hank Williams Sr. biography and absolutely loved it. I was an extra in Walk the Line (if your tv is big enough you might be able to spot me).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My nieces and nephews are the most amazing part of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach/share hula hoop tricks, paper crafting with decoupage

I would love to learn more about playing the banjo
