CURRENT MISSION

To meet people and be inspired

ABOUT ME

West coast lifestyle is great, so I enjoy getting the outdoors, being active, hiking, biking, camping, and other physical activities. I'm open to exploring more such as kayaking, snowboarding, rock climbing.

I have a broad range of interest in movies, art, music, as I like everything from mainstream to alternative stuff depending on my mood. My preference in music, movies, and art is stuff that challenges me mentally, physically, or spiritually.

PHILOSOPHY

[b]Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements:[/b]
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourselfor to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment, it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
