About Me

I do silly things on a regular basis and don't ever plan on growing up. I believe in trees, good intentions, the wonders of the universe, and dark chocolate. I have a truly outstanding family whom I cherish, including many friends who have become part of the tribe. I think that life's generally pretty cool.

My Interests

Being outside, bicycling, camping when it's warm, dancing, hula hooping, getting the giggles, learning, baking bread, modge-podging, weaving, writing, sewing, imagining, meeting fun new people, smiling, celebrating, dreaming, good conversation and wine, movies, knitting, pretending I'm a rock star in my car, going out with friends, hosting parties, reading everything and anything, shopping, observing human behavior, eating sushi, being there when live music happens, laughing, traveling, exploring, adventuring, inspiring, drinking good coffee, and taking naps when it's raining outside.

I'd like to meet:

Lewis Carroll, William Wordsworth, Leonardo da Vinci, Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant, Billie Burke, Coco Chanel, Jim, Janis, and Jimmy (Morrison, Joplin, and Hendrix, respectively), Kathrine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Howard Hughes, Isadora Duncan, Friedrich Nietzsche, Frank Sinatra, and Martha Graham... in another life, perhaps.

Looking forward to the semester break... but in the meantime, am really into ecological footprint reduction and anything that connects algebra with four-harness loom weaving.

Heroes:

Bold and fearless people who communicate clearly and have informed opinions while maintaining an open mind. People who challenge assumptions, dare to be original, and stand up for their beliefs. People who can reconcile their bodies, souls, and minds as a singular sublime being. People who live each moment to the fullest, love with their whole hearts, and try their very best to have no regrets.
