-live daily adventures. make a difference-

About Me

Attempting to live my life one daily adventure after another, opening my eyes to see the most ordinary of things in the most beautiful and colorful of lights. Attempting to walk through my life in love, in joy, and in peace. I'm infatuated with continually learning about my creator. I love me some Jesus. I'm addicted to laughter. I like getting to destinations without the use of an automobile, its a good feeling. I love veg-e-ta-bles! I want to have a garden in my back yard that provides most of my families needs and enough left over to share with friends. I like taking old used things and turning them into something fun and useful, i feel accomplished when i do that. I like giving gifts! I want to "be the change I want to see in the world" (Gandhi)

My Interests

adventuring, traveling, collecting buttons in a jar, meeting beautiful souls, walking along the less beaten path, finding really old used books, discovering new tasty foods, writing, learning to love the way Jesus did, gluing buttons on things that wouldnt normally have buttons attached, laughing till it hurts, sleeping on floors, making bouquets of wildflowers, daydreaming, cuddling, riding my bike, city life, organic farming, missions

Music:

banjos make me smile. pianos touch my spirit. mandolins intrigue my soul. drums make me tap my toes. bongos cause my feet to dance. whistling is my never failing habit.

Television:

is s waste of an adventure. except of course for the office. its too painfully awkward not to watch.

Books:

are my addiction.
