CURRENT MISSION

Learn to enjoy whatever comes my way!

ABOUT ME

Well. Here are a few things:I grew up deep in some woods. I'm very easily delighted. One of my dreams is to write children's stories. I thrive on wilderness, cooking, creativity, and capoeira!I try to learn a lot, no matter where I am and what I'm doing...while attempting to keep the project of awareness as light-hearted and laugh-strewn as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh whenever you can.

Try thinking that anything is possible.

Get to know your vegetables, and don't overcook them.

Perfecting the art of happiness, and learning to share it with others!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
