About Me

forever changing, adapting, striving. i live in this constant state. one cannot picture the successful finish line at the point of the first creative thought. it becomes a process, moving forward, inspired by the last, driven to the next. this is what becomes life. blind leaps that test our limits, or prove that there really aren't any. i live in my head most of the time, but try and stay focused to my truth. finding ways to sharpen the minds eye, mental carrots.

My Interests

making beautiful semi-precious stone jewelry, singing, dancing, writing, dancing, laughing, drawing, drinking coffee, dancing, exerting my right to be crazy, reading, laughing hysterically for no apparent reason, good conversations/debates, strangers, horses, kittens!!!!!! my sister, cake, loving and being loved rocks, staring off into space, being unselfconscious, learning, forgetting, oh I must mean forgiving, right. And just plain being cool.

I'd like to meet:

I can't imagine why I'd exclude anyone, though I may not want to speak to some for a second time... really anyone who helps a stranger feel more connected in this world. Some spiritual superglue, a friend. Those whose eyes are bright, with curiousity, with thirst, conviction. A fellow sensationalist junkie. People who remind me that I'm never really gonna know what's around the corner. Surprise, just when you thought your life was predictable. Those who help instill the faith, those I can be thankful for.
