About Me

Live life as if your hair was on fire! a Budhist guru once told me that and it has always stuck with me. I believe in being in the moment and living in the flow of life. Living with an earnest desire to make the most of every experience. I love to laugh and be silly. I enjoy spending time hanging out with those I love. I love making art. I love all things spiritual and mysterious. I love Shinto and Buddhism. Check out my blog: Buddhism 101 at http://buddhism101.blogspot.com/ I have taken formal refuge vows in the Vajrayana tradition. I love quantum science. I love things Rastafari! Oh yea and I'm a domestic goddess!
