CURRENT MISSION

To be more conscious of my breath.

ABOUT ME

Climbing and snowboarding have been my vehicles of travel and connection. Now getting more into writing and photography. Everyone is perfect and my mission is to help individuals realize this through my motivations, actions and words.

I AM AN EXCELLENT ENGLISH TEACHER...not shy about helping you improve or I can say nothing about incorrect English if this is preferred! Also there are times where conversations are good and lessons are not appropriate. I get it.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all one, seeking the same thing...to be loved. Every action we make, whether conscious or unconscious is towards this end.

May you be happy, peaceful and healthy!

Being selfish benefits the world. Believe and Achieve!

Being quite enough to really listen to my heart and then following what I hear is my goal. Very challenging, but I am an optimist and believe that anything is possible!

"Whatever you can do, or think you can do, do it now! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it!" - Johanne Wolfgang Von Goethe
