I am the dreamer and the dream within.

About Me



I am off to Guatemala! I'll be back in early July and in time for my birthday!

As change is a constant, I, too, am in a constant state of flux. All that I am and all that I have are caught in this small, yet infinite, moment. It is light, it is love, it is all.
