CURRENT MISSION

I want to expand, transform, grow, and explore the world. I want to taste new things, hear new sounds and shift my normal.

ABOUT ME

I'm a seeker of truth and a student of circumstance. I have raised two amazing children into loving adults with the love and support of my family. and community. I have spent my life in service of the greater good. I love to travel, to taste, to smell, to feel new worlds, and find new words. I can do a lot with very little and strive to appreciate life's abundance and how I can contribute to it. I'm a happy nomad who likes to be lost and found. I have seen some of the world but stay hungry for awe, and all the wonders this earth holds.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is not fear.
