About Me

time to change this up... i consider myself to be a pretty laid back person- not too much gets under my skin other than ignorance,lack of self-acceptance (women love your bodies they're beautiful!!!) and an unwillingness to reciprocate- in conversation, to this world, in friendship and in love.i'm most happy on a sunny day, venturing off on a weekend excursion,travelling anywhere for that matter,cottaging/boating, enjoying conversation,cold drinks and fierce laughter with friends on a patio, watching an incredible thunderstorm sitting outside on my porch, engaging in stimulating conversation with strangers,random acts of kindness, having a romantic night in with my girl and seeing what this vast city has to offer...i love outdoor festivals- whether it's one million sweaty, beautiful,blissful gay folk at pride, thousands of people wandering the street in the beaches jazz fest or making my way through greektown during the taste of the danforth.this city is truly amazing and i feel lucky to have so much available at arms length. strength in diversity for sure..i'm fortunate to have a career that i'm passionate about which allows me to have that daily interaction with such a diverse crowd, that all have a common interest in mind- body wellness. this helps daily in my struggles when i'm feeling like a hippocrite for being a health care professional- but leading a life that isn't entirely healthy in a few ways...encouragement, no doubt, to lose these negatives in my life and to be able to truly practice what i preach.so...in a very tiny nutshell...this is a taste of me... thanks for stopping by!
