Jamming (the flow!), writing, activism/making a positive dent, hiking, gardening, massage/holistic health, dancing, basketball (though I always hurt myself..I keep coming back for more), stories, reality, people!
People who are playful, affectionate and lighthearted, while being compassionate and passionate. Pleasantly imperfect and a bit quirky is a plus.

My friends and co-workers who do great work and keep a delightful spirit alive and never hesitate to drop their pen and start playing. My summer camp co-counselor family who have been there with me through all of the harrowing and inspiring experiences at camp all these years. My family who are so different from me, are always there for me when I need them and remind me to be a more well rounded person. My dad, who even when he was dying of cancer was there for us and only wanted us to be happy. My old friends, with whom I never feel like I have to hold anything back, yet who are always very honest with me.
