ABOUT ME

I am a very down to earth and easygoing gal. I love meeting new people and will try anything once. Born and raised on a farm, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I love to dance and enjoy a good laugh. Don't be offended if I give you a hug, I love giving hugs. :D

PHILOSOPHY

Have courage in the face of adversity to travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Do the hard thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the streets of Paris alone and listened to a musician playing La Vie En Rose on the accordion, something I've imagined doing since I was a girl.

Danced tango with a blind man.

Lifted a horse off the ground and into my arms.

I was able to witness bubblenet feeding among Humpback whales in Alaska. This is a co-operative feeding behavior of Humpback whales, a group of whales working together will dive under schools of herring, one whale will swim in a circle while blowing bubbles under the herring. When the bubbles rise they form a net and scare the herring into a tight ball in the center. The whales then come up through the middle with their mouths open, capturing large amounts of food. Most amazing experience in nature I have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a vegetarian and a firm believer that we should be intentional with what we consume and put in/on our bodies. I am blessed to live in a society where fresh produce is readily available. I try to encourage everyone I see to eat fresh and organically grown food rather than settling for something in a colorful box.

I will walk when I can, as I am blessed to have working legs. Being too stationary destroys the body and destroys the spirit.
