CURRENT MISSION

to be a modern gypsy.

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Courtney and I've lived in Portland, Oregon for a couple years. It's pretty great and I love living here. I spend a lot of my time working, creating, cooking and spending time with my friends. I enjoy seeing the music around town (there's a lot!) and sitting in a comfy chair with a good book. Drop me a line and I'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I all I need are my wits, my kindness and the will to succeed.

We have been bred to believe that the more zeros there are in our bank accounts the happier we will be. That a job determines who we are.
But we are not our paychecks. We are not what college we attended. We are not the clothes we put on in the morning.

We are the breath in our lungs. We are our minds. We are the compassion we show others. We are what we choose to become.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy almost any book that I pick up. I love to dive deep into a book because there isn't anything greater than imagination and what the mind can create. Hrm.. I can always find something I like when it comes to music and movies as well. Even bad movies are good movies to me. The Picture Of Dorian Gray and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas are my all time favorite books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped on a plane and moved a thousand miles away with just the clothes in my suitcase.

I've done many fun and wacky things. Amazing? I'm not sure. Amazing to me maybe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll always lend an ear or an arm. :)
I love to talk about almost anything so, let's converse.
