CURRENT MISSION

to meet people, share experiences, keep life fresh and open and learning

ABOUT ME

I am moving from Quincy, IL to Dallas, TX for a nanny position.

PHILOSOPHY

My life's philosophy has changed quite a bit in the past two years. I was a Christian, but now since having read many eastern religious books, buddhism and the like, I'd say that I believe whatever comes to my mind and what I want to create in this life for my life and others. Anything beyond that is speculative and relative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Costa Rica for 6 months. I traveled there with a boyfriend but was quickly on my own looking for work and a place to live. I found work at a school and was able to use the Spanish I learned in high school to communicate and get around the country. I lived with a family for a month and a half and would do it all over again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to do flower arrangements, how to clean a house, how to do massage, how to stretch and do exercises, how to make candles. I want to learn just about anything that you do.
