ABOUT ME

I love eating well (locally, seasonally, intuitively), and value conscientious consumerism, and anything DIY. Anything culinary/creative are what I like. And cheese, of course. I volunteer around food in my community and beyond.

People say I am calm. And it's mostly always true, but I can't sit still for long periods of time. Unless I'm meditating.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
Use your voice and speak for those who can't
No kindness is insignificant
Everything comes in time, and everything comes back to you, so be good, do good, drink your tea and don't insult in vain
Life is multifaceted, and should be lived as such
What would you do if you weren't scared of anything?
Drama is only good on stage and on the screen
