CURRENT MISSION You get what you give. ABOUT ME Here is a little info about me.. I love to travel, meet new people and I thrive on the thrills of new experiences. I am genuine and real, and love to smile. I sincerely believe that your level of happiness depends on the company you keep and maintaining a high level positive energy. It take 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile. Be easy on yourself. I like to surround myself with people who are enthusiastic, grateful, inspiring, and have a zest for life. Happiness is contagious. My zany interests include snowboarding, gardening, sewing, being alone in the woods or with others who enjoy being alone in the woods. Uphill, downhill and everywhere hikes, ultimate frisbee, soccer, oh and skydiving was totally rad, I'm a sucker for adrenaline. Plus, more recently, getting ready for a wee little baby. We are due in at the end of May. Movies are addictive and I love a good flick....Books are enchanting, and I love when a decent version of a book is converted to film. The best of both worlds. Quirky and a what-you-see-is-what-you get kinda girl. I live by what I believe is important in life and pride myself on living by those standards. Simplicity, relationships, food, honesty, health, flowers, trees, music and travel oh yeah can't forget a good bottle Mendoza Malbec!! That's me in a nutshell. Let's surf!
