ABOUT ME
"The same wonderful hurricane she was when she was five" - a quote from my best friend in preschool's mother.
Live in Portland, work at a theater/nanny/freelance as a stagehand/tech. I like sewing, knitting, playing music. I LOVE my bicycle. I like to garden and play the mandolin and sing and... bake bread!
PHILOSOPHY
Honor those around you, honor yourself, and step outside your comfort every once in a while, it's good for you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My mother took me to stay at a Buddhist monastery in the Santa Cruz mountains every year as a kid, and when I was sixteen, I spent a summer as a Zen student, studying their religion and philosophy. I worked to support the guest season (how they make money in the summertime), woke up early early every, meditated four hours a day, and had an incredible summer. I'm not a religious person of any particular persuasion, but the ideas of community and respect that I learned that summer have stayed with me.
