About Me

CURRENT MISSION

... listening and responding to the calling of my heart

ABOUT ME

I ask for what I want from life, while trusting the answers I'm given, even when it's not what I might *want* ... confused yet?! ;)
I believe in the abundance of the Universe, that the good in the world outweighs the negative in nearly every situation; and that being human is a gift. Lots of opportunity to grow, change, challenge and expand into infinite possibilities inside this skin I've been given.
I practice Gratitude. Every day.
I also do a shit-load of yoga. It's transformed my life, and continues to do so.
I'm evolving all the time ... it's not always easy, but certainly better than the alternative.
ALIVE!

PHILOSOPHY

love like there's no tomorrow
dance every day
wake up! then stay awake
live and let live
sing your heart out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll host surfers, I'll surf, I'll be available to help in other ways when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There are so many surfers looking for hosts! I bet I could host someone nearly every night if I had the time. I say yes as often as I can and every experience so far has been wonderful. The people I've met are interesting, open and ready for the next adventure. I love that way of thinking and living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a sea-turtle make her way back to the ocean after searching for the perfect nesting spot. We had red-lights, so were able to get very close to her, look her in the eye and listen to her breathe. Beautiful.

Given birth 4 times; 3 of them in the water. Pretty damn amazing.

Been witness to dozens of other human babies entrance to the human experience.

Traveled around the US with our 3 boys in an old converted Greyhound bus.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a bit about yoga or we can practice together and learn from one another.

I'm open to learning whatever you got to offer.

We can share our hearts and experiences of being human.
