CURRENT MISSION

Allowing. Unity. No plans; just ideas! :-{D

ABOUT ME

I graciously positively reinforce effort that people earnestly put forth. I love when people think that no one is looking. I believe that Knowledge, in all of its forms, is beautiful, and the quintessential micro/macrocosm of the human experience.

I do not allow myself to allow others to remain self-unaware through me.

Every day, I learn something and let something go.

Myers-Briggs says I'm (barely) an ENFP (Idealist Champion), but I'm only a few percentage points away in every category from being a true XXXX.

I still use manners while I stand my ground. Yep.

PHILOSOPHY

To create and maintain the space Opportunity requires for myself and for others so We, together and individually, may exact Will from Choice. Do no harm; let things Be; grow.

To confidently live and love and breathe salubrity, and make it so others do or will, as well, with unabashed defiance to the contrary.
