About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Florida-bound

ABOUT ME

I'm an art lover, cat lover, food lover and people lover. I wear my heart on my sleeve, unfortunately.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't compromise yourself, you're all you've got." - Janis Joplin

I try to remind myself that when making a big decision, am I doing this to make myself happy or someone else happy or out of fear of the unknown?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped with my best friends in the at the Utah Arches and saw the stars for the first time not obscured by cityglow. Before there was television, there were stars.

I also never thought slamming myself headfirst into a wall of water in the Pacific would feel so good, but it did. I think this was the first time in 26 years I experienced pure joy.

Tasted the first batch of fermented grapes from a vineyard before being bottled.

Also, the artwork of Paul Klee.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you yoga & pole tricks.

I can also share with you a home-made vegetarian dinner.
