ABOUT ME

I... have lived mostly in coastal Massachusetts (Nbpt, Plym, Boston, MV), spent 4 years teaching third grade in Brooklyn, was named after a Fleetwood Mac song (or a Welsh goddess), am Scorpio/Leo/Scorpio (sun/moon/rising), am a loosely vegetarian foodie living in Madrid where everything is seasoned with bits of ham.

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

- Mark Twain
