CURRENT MISSION

To take having fun very seriously and to be part of the solution, what else?

ABOUT ME

With the thickest Brazilian (Portuguese) accent imaginable, my Mum says: "My daughter has done everything, EVERYTHING!!!". Its true. What's a girl born with an appetite for life as big as the sky, to do?!?

Got heaps of life experience as a result. When the dust settles, when all the toys are put away, when the boom bands are packed up for the night, the two things that matter most are: friendship and nature. Friendship is my wealth and nature the true touch stone.

Here is an ideal scene in the world according to Lee. The scene: Crackling robust camp fire, on top of a Mountain; somewhere planet earth. The group gathered around this crackling fire reached the alpine meadow together. Well feed and satisfied with our treking accomplishment, a guitar comes out, percussion instruments are improvised. Sun is setting colorfully. For hours into the warm night we sing all the songs that we ever knew and make a few up.

We get funky with John Lennon's "Imagine". We sing it as if singing it will make its sentiments come true. Everyone feels the love or is it the tequilla?

Friends, music, nature and satisfying food. That's it for me, mainly......

PHILOSOPHY

Two little brilliant 6 year old girls once delivered the wisest words I've ever heard. They announced that they had the keys to life. I was intrigued. "Pray tell, I am all ears", I assured them. The first took a step toward me and began: "Always have fun no matter what, after that eat, drink and sleep. Having made her delivery the next child chimed in: "And always be interesting, you are interesting!" I am flattered and found in these words from Innocents.
