ABOUT ME

Hi Friends!
I work as an RN in Portland, Oregon. I love to travel and meet new people. I
I'm super down to earth, easy going and personable...oh and I bake delicious apple pies. :)

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is really deeply rooted in my beliefs in eastern philosophy, particularly Buddhism. Basically, do good in the world, treat people well, dont get too upset, especially by things you cant change, work towards uplifting the human race (rather than tearing it down in some way), always give people the benefit of the doubt (even those who cut you off in traffic), take deep breaths, take time to smell the roses.
