About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To absorb and apply knowledge I obtain from different culture experiences wth hopes to impact the individual as they do me. *And of course have a damn good time in the process!

ABOUT ME

At this moment I am human..Tomorrow is another story.
I am spontaneous.. random..intuitive..introvertedly outgoing, resilient, complex. The last time I remember being 'bored' must have been the first month of floating around in my mother's womb. Something, someone, some idea is always captivating..pulling me. I love people deeply..in all of their complex dimensions. It titillates my insides when I am able to connect with someone..just beyond their surface. When they feel so inclined..so vulnerable to gift the world with the rawest part of them. I thrive in positive energies and transform the negatives. There are many goals I have in the works and I feel it necessary to utilize every single minute in my day, thus truly be present.

*Traveled to 40/50 states with in the U.S

PHILOSOPHY

To thine ownself(s) be true

"I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Donâ

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a homeless man walk into the middle of traffic, pick up a spider and then place it on the sidewalk.

I've held someone's hand as they took their last breath

Hitch hiked with a guy for 5hrs and neither of us spoke the same language-

Teach, Learn, Share

Within every individual I surpass I see a part of myself in them. It is instantly understood that between us, we have something so rare, so sacred to share.
I am in love with this life I have created...that I have lived. My goal is not to achieve greatness, but to be great daily. To prepare, to envision, to be ready. I welcome anyone who would like to run, walk, climb...grow confidently with me on this journey.
