CURRENT MISSION

to look inside myself.

ABOUT ME

I like art, travel, expression, goofiness, wine, nice people, potlucks, dancing, jumping, leaves and flowers, the ocean, good friends, warm smiles, mugs of tea and coffee. drawing, reading, painting, writing, walking alone in the city, lying in fields, star gazing, bonfire nights.

I am social, yet introverted.

I am together, I am apart.

I am fearful, I am brave.

I am confusing, I am clear as day.

I am full contrast, yearning each day to feel more. because if we don't feel we don't really live.

PHILOSOPHY

your life is your masterpiece, you can choose to make it as beautiful as you want.

"My little beast, my eyes, my favorite stolen egg. Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I’ve only found sorrow."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

things i have seen:
a sunset on an island of two volcanos. waves crash on shores. beautiful friends treat me like gold. an ecuadorian village inspire my entire vision and ideals surrounding community. the sunrise over the brooklyn bridge. a mango tree embodying the lesson of giving.

things i have done:
many like we all have. yet the most amazing thing i have done is opened myself to possibility by following my instincts and trusting myself and those around me. this continues to be a journey.
