CURRENT MISSION

To take the road less traveled by

ABOUT ME

I love life. I love people. I love traveling and learning. I am on a path to self discovery, and with each open minded new person I meet and learn from I feel a tiny bit closer to understanding my purpose. If we could all let go of judgement and open our hearts and minds to new possibilities, just imagine the possibilities. There are worlds within worlds, but you will never see them with your eyes shut. We have been taught to memorize instead of to think, regurgitating information without questioning its validity. No harm ever came from asking "what if"? Magic is possible when enough love is shared.

I love music... I believe it is what feelings would sound like. It is a form of expression that cannot be argued with, and has proven our viability in even the worst of times.

Don't hide who you are or what you think. Whether it be music, painting, or the way you dress... say what you feel... dance as if no one is watching. Don't accept the opinion that the majority is always right... they are not. Life is too short to care, so live as if there is no tomorrow.

PHILOSOPHY

Years from now, what will matter most is how well you lived, how deeply you loved, and how fully you learned to let go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Telluride Bluegrass Festival was one of the best times I've had... bun-gee jumping with a broken foot in New Zealand was a crazy adventure... Niagra Falls... sunrise on the beach in Surfer's Paradise Australia...4 days on a deserted beach in the Whitsunday Islands self-reflecting and learning to entertain ourselves with the simple things in life (My Cast Away experience... except with 3 friends, 2 large jugs of water, 2 big boxes of wine.... but we didn't pack enough food and had to split a granola bar three ways during our last day, ha)

Teach, Learn, Share

A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.
