CURRENT MISSION

To become a master woodcarver/truffle maker

ABOUT ME

I love chocolate, music, sunshine, snow, and toms shoes. I want to travel as much as I can so I can have a better understanding of the world. I also think that its never too cold, too late, too early, too hot, too far, or too much for ice cream. (And I still have both my feet!)

I love to have long discussions about things that I may or may not know anything about. Learning others' opinions on things is one of my favorite things to do. I feel my life is pulling me in multiple directions, but I hope that one day I will find a passion that overcomes all the rest. Until then, I will remain my mother's hippie vagabond, chasing The Movement and fighting The Man. :)

I'm the oldest sister of four and the younger sister of two, and with the way my blended family works that is the best description I can give. My family and I are incredibly close, and for this I feel really lucky, but I also kind of blame them for molding me into an open book. I can't even send postcards to Post Secret, because I don't really have any.

PHILOSOPHY

"Help us to love even those who hate us, so we can change the world."
-Cesar Chavez
