CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life! To eat good food, to dance, to laugh and to love.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty relaxed, enjoy a simple life, taking care of my home, garden and spunky cat Izzie. Oh and Andy, my guy, who I currently reside with. We are moving to a temporary location right now and unable to host as we are building our very own tiny house! Hope to start hosting again this fall.

I enjoy the company of open-minded people, nothing better than a nice meal, a good bottle of wine and great conversation. I LOVE to dance! Whether in a class or out with friends, you will oft find me shakin' my stuff :)

I also enjoy hiking, yoga, swimming, various sports, reading, Scrabble(love love love me some Scrabble), movies, music and cooking.

PHILOSOPHY

Essentially, I want to spend my time on this earth doing things that make me happy and make those around me happy (or at least a little better off). So, I work hard and eat a lot of chocolate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have mad dancing skillz. Haha. Really though, I could teach you some tap, ballet, or jazz. Or, come to one of my many yoga classes. I can also teach you to make delicious from scratch homemade pancakes.

Need to learn how to knit and use my sewing machine which sits sad and alone in a closet. Also, teach me an instrument, please!
