About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living to love and loving to live!

ABOUT ME

i'm one of those hopeless romantics, always falling in love with people and places.

i get bored really easily, so i'm constantly doing a million things at once.

i love my gravity-defying hair and being a tall lady!

i was a vegetarian for 7 years and a pescetarian for 3 years more. now i'm back in the meat eating world and excited to try some new interesting dishes :)

i love dancing so much! i'd be happy to take surfers out to some underground parties around the city.

i enjoy lots of other things. celebrate life with meeee, let's play!

PHILOSOPHY

If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.....
But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

When we meet and part we often say "namaste", which means I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides, I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place in you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.
