About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To pursue openness. Fill my heart with divine love. Live life as it has never been lived before.

ABOUT ME

I'm a lot of personality packed into a 5'4" person. I love dark chocolate and adventuring. Recently have gotten into working out. It is my deepest wish to always have a fire burning within. I also believe the simple pleasures in life cause decadence. Like dogs. No allergies. Enjoy quiet time and typewriters.
Am an alchemist in the kitchen. Pretty into nutrition, and discovering new things about food. Love telling about the benefits of good edibles. (Basically I'm just a foodie).
I've eaten bug larva, it tasted like corn nuts. Been white water rafting, want to go kyaking.
As well as mountain climbing.
Love yoga. Do ta'i chi. Am a papermaker, letterpress printer and book binder. Love all sorts of history.

Yadda yadda. You get the point.

PHILOSOPHY

"I celebrate myself" W.W.

If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.-My grandmother
