About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be in that place that Rumi mentioned as much as possible. “There is a place between right and wrong, I’ll meet you there.”

ABOUT ME

All I really wanna do is travel, be present with people I meet, and pet dogs.

PHILOSOPHY

Balance
Don't tolerate, appreciate
Love yourself first so you can really love others
Make your own rules that are based in the ever elusive truth
Learn from nature: watch and respect animals and plants
Be mindful of your thoughts, don’t get stuck in fear and judgement.
