Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name... I'm very open-minded when it comes to music. The only genre I dislike is country and western. I really do not watch movies very often, but I like the psychological types like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I also like the harsh irony of French films, I find it funny. Right now, I am reading "Wabi-Sabi: For Artists, Poets, and Philosophers" and "The Devil and Miss Prym" by Paulo Coelho. If I had to choose a favorite book, it would probably be "The Celestine Prophecy" but my favorites really change daily..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked from Oia to Thira, Santorini with a beautiful friend who is a Santorini local in sandals. It was the most breath-taking experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share
