One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things, short list:

1. I have lived in a veggie oil short bus while touring the country with a six piece band and a speaker (and a dog and a baby) to raise money for sac prison support.

2. I have seen a seahorse have babies.

3. I have made billions of Valntines by hand.

4. I have been keeping a journal of my dreams and my waking life since I was 13.

5. I have watched the sun rise and set on 12 countries.

There is more, because life is always extraordinary and amazing if you look at it right, but, this is the short list....

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone a little English, I can teach chords on the ukulele! I can share my sense of adventure! I can share a delicious meal, (because I am a good cook,) I can share my positive and helpful attitude and my joyful outlook on life, (it tends to be contagious!) I can sing you a song and draw you a picture. I can tell you a story or listen to one. I can write letters and stay friends. I would love to learn folklore and fairy tales from all the new places I go, every language ! I LOVE stories and I would love to learn about the lives of every person I meet!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am helpful, interesting and funny. I can play you songs and make you dinner! I love animals and I will pet your kitty or doggie all day long! I can and intend to share my time and attention! I am nice! I will share whatever I have!
