CURRENT MISSION

to lose my "lost" and gain my peace..

ABOUT ME

I have decided that I do not like the Chicago winters.
I need sunshine.Music is the love of my life.I love Chicago summers,biking,cooking,eating,dancing,smiling,and living.
I love to love life.

PHILOSOPHY

Every single day I learn more and more to accept myself and to find peace from within. I'm a firm believer in karma and the golden rule.

Follow your dreams and trust your heart.

On life's journey
Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and
Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make our world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing my niece Anabella take her first breath of life.Jumping out of an airplane.Dancing until the sun rose at the Watergate in Berlin,Germany. Having the privilege to see all the wonderful musicians I am obsessed with in various places worldwide.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach at least one person something new about who they are. In exchange I'd like to learn something new about myself. I love discovering new music! Lets exchange! Ive also discovered that book swapping with my surfers has been delightful! I will teach you how to get around Chicago, and more than likely introduce you to the local music scene in Chicago. I will also make you dinner. It makes me happy-unless I have plans and/or a busy week/weekend!!!
