I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a fairly laid-back person with an intense desire to see taste feel drink breathe true life. My interests vary from science to singing. Perhaps I'm more 'renaissance woman' than especially talented. I have a habit of mixing my French and English, as well as a tendancy to swap the first letters of words. Daily I discover new frontiers and truths of this world and my soul. I went to Mongolia again in July not only to lend a helping hand and delve into a culture and mindset apart from my own, but because travel expands, teaches, and challenges us, and leaves us with a responsibility like no other. Newest info on the block is I am opening a coffeehouse in Bellingham with one of my best friends. It's loads of work, but worth every second of it. So...taking advantage of this free advertising spot: Lettered Streets Coffeehouse: Your corner on the world. Located on Dupont and F Scheduled to open the end of September.

Grey skies

Today I feel rainy. I don't mean tears, I mean pieces of me dripping off in tiny spheres and creating a shapeless muddled puddle. I think my ice-cube tray walls are finally breaking down, and I'm fi...
