CURRENT MISSION

I love people, meeting new friends, sharing what I know. I truly believe that the world can become a better place if we are nicer to each other, and open to new experiences with each other.

ABOUT ME

I am a young thinking, active adult with many interests. I like the internet, cooking, gardening, spirituality, and people. It is my daily goal to touch someone's life in a meaningful way, and to learn something new. On a good day I can accomplish both before 8 AM.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to be negative, so I choose love.

Music, Movies, and Books

It Could Happen to you, Only the Lonely, Heidi, The Wizard of Oz, In America, In Harm's Way, The Search For Red October, It's a Wonderful Life, and oh so many more.

Books by Barbara Kingsolver, James Michener, Simon Winchester, and oh so many more. I alternate reading fiction, and non-fiction. Every moment I don't have to do something else, I am reading. Books about cooking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was serving in Viet Nam before I was 21. I will never forget the beauty of the country, the people, and the horror of war.

I am always amazed at what beauty can be created from nothing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher of cooking, gardening, and living life. I've written thousands of poems.
