CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, visiting new places, and seeing life through world views other than my own. I am really easy going and love conversation, and it is hard to find food, drinks, coffee, or towns (if only for a day) that I can't enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Jesus pretty much sums it up. Love God and Love your [global] neighbor as yourself. We are all trees in God's story about a forest, and none of us is the main character. He has changed my life and the lives of many friends in the most liberating ways. I love hearing other people's life stories and world views.

Tomorrow will worry about itself. More stuff is more maintenance and less freedom. Learn always, forgive always. Devise good. Dream big. We are blessed so we can better bless others.
