About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Love and Learn and make every day an adventure..

ABOUT ME

I'm an artist, free spirit.. I love learning, painting and creating art, spending time with friends and family, reading, thrift stores, foreign markets, cooking, exploration and adventure,DANCING!!!,hiking, riding my bike among a gazillion other things, some yet to be found!.. Simple things in life make me smile like a great cup of french pressed coffee, seeing an incredible art show or giving and receiving hugs.. when my light is shining nothing can stop me.. LOVE IS our soul purpose..

PHILOSOPHY

Every challenge is an opportunity to grow..sometimes the hardest times bring the biggest breakthroughs..pushing our souls to their potential and purpose. If we become conscious we are able to experience each moment with totality and acceptance of whatsoever is happening around us.. I choose to live from my heart

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing in a sand storm alone with my bicycle in Black Rock Desert at Burning Man.. All I could see was white.. above me, around me, beneath me.. it was an awe inspiring moment and experience. The feeling of being in nothingness where everything could be created. A oneness. Amazing..
