CURRENT MISSION

To spread my crazy insane brand of love all over the world

ABOUT ME

I am shy but adventurous, I love meeting new people (especially when they lure me outside of my comfort zone). I have immensely enjoyed traveling and exploring new places, investigating different ways of life with an open mind, spending lots of time in nature (especially the southwest), reading books (and also collecting them, as I've noticed I seem to have accumulated quite a few), cooking elaborate meals with local and organic produce. I love to make meals from the most basic components, its even better when you know some of the people who grew your food personally!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is interdependent, nobody is an island, everything we see and feel belongs perfectly where it is, I often forget but always return to the pure acceptance of everything around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about working with borosilicate glass; Mostly the finer points of bead making. Soldering for jewelry, I am really into making ancient pattern chains, fusing hundreds of rings of fine silver and weaving them into something wearable.

I know how to cook all sorts of food, some traditional Mexican dishes, vegetarian, all sorts of classic comfort foods. I work at an organic market so I've also had the opportunity to learn a lot about produce.

I really want to practice speaking Spanish, so any opportunity to share that would be appreciated!
