CURRENT MISSION

To follow my intuition, be resourceful, adventurous, and loving, and create more with kindness

ABOUT ME

I am a kind and adventurous person, who wants to see the world go to good places. I am soft, loving, powerful, dogged, smart, feeling, playful.

I write songs, and want to sing them more, and play them in public. I like independent art scenes, music scenes, and film scenes.

I am an Avatar Master, which is someone who is licensed to teach a course called Avatar, which is about life, and expanding your potentials, and about living deliberately.

I love bicycling, and places where that is a popular easy thing to do; I love cities where walkin, and small shops, and human connections are popular. I love smells of fresh air, trees, and green grasses.

I am also a web designer, with years of experience in graphic design, programming, as well as (and getting into) marketing sides of that.

PHILOSOPHY

(This is what I have noticed to be effective for me in becoming happier.)

I think protecting myself will make me feel safer, but it makes me feel more scared.

Letting go and thinking of how I can help someone else makes me feel better.

Worrying about being lonely makes me lonlier.

Dropping all my struggles to care for others makes me feel I have all the friends I need.

Letting go of fear, doubt, struggle, drama, worry, reveal a self that is happy, powerful, loving, caring, compassionate, and care-full.

When I feel critical of someone, it's likely or certain that I am doing the thing I am critical of them for.

The less I create my life as hard, the easier it is.

With gratitude, where I am looks great, the same place that with resentment looks bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am dedicated to making a difference, and contributing to the creation of a loving, care-full, fun, and fantastic society, where love, creation, and courage are paramount.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this site, but have spent lots of time sleeping on friends' floors, sharing hotel rooms, shared living spaces, etc. I have almost always had a good experience, and really like people.

As long as there is some sense of a friendly atmosphere, I am very good at becoming comfortable and cozy, and enjoying new spaces. I try to be neat and respectful, which is (especially the neat part) something I have developed over my adult years.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, as an Avatar Master I have a number of amazing tools for working in consciousness which produce amazing results, in terms of producing insights, relief from pain, and new understandings. I would be happy to introduce you to that.

I am a skilled web designer, with years of experience in graphic design, programming, online marketing, blogging, podcasting, you name it. I am happy to provide advice or counsel about the best way to set up web sites, and so on.

I'm a really good writer.

I am a good guitar player, and I would be happy to show someone how to play the guitar on many different levels.
