Music, Movies, and Books

I like any music that I can dance to or that makes me feel something, anything. I mostly listen to hip-hop, reggae, classic rock, top 40s. I like movies, mostly funny ones or girly romantic comedies, sometimes action/adventure ones if I'm in the right mood or a tearjerker if I need a good cry. I like non-fiction books mostly, anything I can learn a lot from...usually topics of nutrition, money/business, or self-help, personal development, autobiographies, blah blah you get the picture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The view from the top at Ang Thong National Marine park in Thailand changed my life.

Watching my nephew learn and grow can sometimes make my heart feel like it could explode. Also, my 85 year old grandparents still holding hands after 60+ years of marriage. Most things/days of my life are amazing to me. I guess I am easily amazed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots about all about San Diego, all about Massachusetts/east coast, know a lot about health, the human body, nutrition, cooking, teaching english, the female mind, mindset, personal growth/development/spirituality. I know everything there is to know about living at the beach and how to relax in a hammock.

I want to learn more Spanish, how to beatbox, how to tell a joke or a story (I'm terrible...) how to play any instrument, learn about other cultures, other people, other places or learn anything else that I don't know I don't know yet.
