my mantra is sure why not - I am always down to try something new

I like reading in the afternoon sun just as much as I like dancing until the sun rises with sweaty strangers.

I'm an herbalist, so I work with plants and people to bring more joy to their lives. I love my friends and try to be a better friend every day. Here’s to making the world a more beautiful and loving place.

I live in New Orleans and I love this difficult, weird, wonderful place. Always ready to go to a show or to check out some poetry, theater or strange performance pieces.

I love to dance and talk to people about what they love
