About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To heal, grow, learn, live, and wholeheartedly follow my path wherever it leads me.

ABOUT ME

I am getting to know myself better every day. Sometimes I'm surprised by what I learn. I'm gentle, spiritual, and loving. I love New York. These are all things that surprised me. There are other things that haven't surprised me: I like math, cats, programming, dancing, and art, for instance. But mostly, I'm learning that I like myself. I would recommend me to other people, too.

PHILOSOPHY

I do my best to live one day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time. I forgive my past self, I love my current self, and I trust my future self. When I'm able to do that, when I'm able to balance on that infinitesimally small point that is the present, the present opens and fills my life with blessings and miracles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

China.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: You can peel fresh ginger by scraping it with the side of a spoon. It's quick, and you don't loose hardly any ginger with the skin.

Learn: I want to learn how to live life as a healthy, whole adult.

Share: Yes.
