ABOUT ME
I'm a country girl by birth, a city girl by experience, a world girl by choice, and creative girl by heart.
I left my job in San Francisco a couple of years ago, and now freelance to support my writing and traveling.
I am many things. Gregarious and quiet, love social scenes and being alone, and am still searching out what it means to be human, and how I'm meant to live this life. I am incredibly respectful and easy-going, and can sleep anywhere there's a fair amount of quiet. I will bring you candy.
PHILOSOPHY
Compassion, compassion, compassion - sense of humor, sense of humor, sense of humor

Music, Movies, and Books
Music - anything! Particularly blue grass, electronica, classical, world, pop...
I will stick my nose into any book. I read poetry, philosophy, spiritual classics (Tao, Bible, Bahagavad Gita, what-have-you), contemporary fiction, McSweeney's, AdBusters magazine. Right now in the middle of Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones.
Not a big movie-goer, but love The Godfathers, Clueless, and Waking Life
