CURRENT MISSION

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - M

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm an outgoing, goofy and spontaneous kinda gal...I love to dance, be with my family, listen to you play guitar, start chatting with strangers, travel, eat yummy foods, entrepreneurship, sweep, dance to drumming, explore different ways of living and thinking, laugh with children and am passionate about a lotta good stuff. Yup, I think that really sums me up.

i am going "where the ocean says to go..."(danielnahmod.com..incredible musician, beautiful lyrics...)

PHILOSOPHY

i create my experience. it is what I make it.

appreciate and be generous.

...life may lead you where you least expect...but have faith you are exactly where you are meant to be..

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory ... that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson
