About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"We're on a mission from Gawd..." Jake and Elwood of the Blues Brothers

ABOUT ME

I've got that girl-next-door thing going on. Everyone thinks they know me from somewhere. Aw, maybe cuz I'm just so nice. I love being in nature perhaps from growing up near a forest reserve. But I also love the offerings of a big city, which is why I lived in Chicago for so many years! I am an Artist at heart, I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years, and I am discovering what to do next with what life brings me!

PHILOSOPHY

Always do your best, and the universe will take care of you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I got lost in an Ecuadoran rain forest, Jactun Sacha. But alas, here I am to tell the tale if you want me to bend your ear.
