About Me

I like dance parties and deep soul conversations.
I'm a procrastinator and usually spontaneous.
I like to gab about poetry and art and the way the sun meets the earth with gladness every day.
I love being in or around large bodies of water.
I like sitting with grandmas on porches and soaking up wisdom.
I like exploring.
I like the sun on my shoulders.
I like laughing and crying and sometimes I sing when I talk and I think speaking the truth is important.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once returned a pair of glasses to an elderly stranger in the Miami airport that he left at his TGI Friday's booth. I overheard him talk about his trip to Israel. The waitress looked after my suitcase as I ran over to the departure screens. After calculating possible routes to Tel Aviv (none were direct) I took a chance on which gate and terminal he might be at. Praying I had made the right choice, I arrived at his gate just in time to see him digging through his luggage and wondering where he left his glasses. Handing them to him was such a surreal moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

All of the above. :)
