About Me

I a free, whole, complete being. I am in love with the gift of Life. In first grade I used to love to climb up the inside of the fire escape slide tube, so I could slide back down it. In fourth grade, my friend and I would sit on the hot blacktop road and pop bubbles in the tar, or we would sneak out to the abandoned coal mines and explore. In high school, I had no idea how pretty or cool I actually was because I was wasting so much time trying to be pretty or cool. In college, I drank alcohol every day and then wondered why I was so depressed. I also read a lot of great books. These days I own my own business and enjoy the heck outta my town. I love to walk. I love watching the trees go through their changes, and I love people-and-dog-watching. And eavesdropping, although otherwise I am quite respectful of others' privacy. I adore stationery and cards and glue and paint. I am committed to spiritual growth and becoming a better person, for the benefit of the whole world. I just started teaching Nia. I volunteer. I give gratitude. I hug. And I like cookies and olives. But not at the same time. I eat a mostly vegan diet these days, for all the reasons you might expect. Anyway, that's me. If you want to know more, you can ask.

driving, crying, laughing, and smiling

This morning as I started to work, I was thinking of my dad and unexpectedly I started crying. I don't know if I will get to see him again, and even if I do, there is a certain aspect to him that is ...

I love this town

Where else can you see a pickup truck full of pirates cruising down the road and just wave at them because it's totally normal? One night, after the Seafair parade, I was cooling my heels at Zak...

I'm NOT Okra

This morning I had this dream that I was a walking, talking stalk of celery with an identity crisis (I thought my name was Okra). I stood about three and a half feet high, and you know the leaves that...
