ABOUT ME

I am a cook at a restaurant called Black Rock kitchen and bar. Some things I love are baking/cake decorating, wondering aimlessly, bowling, claw machines, reading, sleepovers, fishing, riding my bike,gardening, cats, chocolates, yoga, and talking to strangers.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it, I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
Dalai Lama

‘Doingness’ – the function of the body.

‘Beingness’ – the function of the soul.

Decide what you want to Be – decide what is you Beingness, then Doingness will follow up from that. Doingness always follows Beingness. Neala Donald Walsch

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One was when I was wwoofing in Poggio Mirtetto there was a flock of sheep(HUNDREDS) walking by and every one of them had a bell on it seemed. I could feel the sound vibrations from all those bells jingling. And my most resent experience was that I had slaughtered a chicken. I can say that it left me awestruck, but it was life changing for me.
