About Me

CURRENT MISSION

positive energy, understanding, love

ABOUT ME

laughter, thoughts of the universe, music, guitar, poetry, astrology, cycling around town.

I have a master's degree in psychology (think research not counseling) and I am working on PhD hydrogeology/climate (I work in caves, forests, and swamps).

I have a hunger to learn about anything. I love people and believe in treating people nicely. I feel that negative energy and hurtful actions hurt not only the person they are directed at but also one's self. Our minds are beautiful and powerful, we should use them to treat others kindly, the world is harsh enough.

PHILOSOPHY

positive energy creates positive energy
