Quotes from some books I truly Love:

When you're unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. And you get to take yourself oh so seriously. Your truly happy people, which is to say, your people who truly like themselves, they don't think about themselves very much- Tom Robbins

"There was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired." - Paul Coelho

"There is a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. Suddenly there is being and nonbeing. But between this being and nonbeing, I don't really know which is being and which is nonbeing. Now I have just said something. But I don't know whether what I have said has really said something or whether it hasn't said something."
-Chuang Tzu

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach Theatre and Performance Arts. I have taught to hundreds of children and adults. Clowning, African Drumming, Dance, Improvisational Comedy and Slacklining are a few of my specialties.

I have ten years of Martial Arts experience that I love to share. I have taught many Ninja classes/ Self-defense.

I have many survival skills.
