About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world as a small home with a big family.

ABOUT ME

"If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" - Mother Teresa

Sorry, but I no longer have a couch available. I recently had to sell my home... I even sold my couch. For explaination see below. When I am back on my feet, and have a couch to offer, I will update. Thanks.
Currently, I am unemployed. Recently got "downsized" from my job as a Human Resources Manager. It's alright though, one door closes and another one opens, right? Well, one did - my front door. I immediately embarked on a journey to see as many of my "wish-list" places as I can during this time on the slimmest budget possible. Of course I am still doing job searches and I am ready and willing, but in the meantime I've been on a few roadtrips... in cars, buses, trains and a few planes in the last couple months. I've traveled to places all over the eastern and southern coasts of the US. And when I'd get back home, I'd spend some quality time on my couch. Enough time that I started to really appreciate my couch. It is a pretty nice couch. In fact, I started thinking about how it would be cool to offer up my couch to others who are traveling, setting out to explore the world outside their own front doors too. It's the least I can do. There's still plenty more places I'd like to see and I may need to crash on your couch sometime soon.

PHILOSOPHY

I aspire to, and admire, many great ideas. Such as:
Imagine by John Lennon
Karma (instant and slow-cooked)
Corinthians 13:13
"Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing."
- Helen Keller
"This too shall pass"
- me (and somebody else but I forget who that is now)

Interests

Traveling; Photography; Yoga; Gardening; Teaching my cats to talk (I know they got at least the fundamentals by now, but they are so selfcentered they refuse to validate my devotion to them by just saying "thanks". Just once would be nice.)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: (right now) Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs; Beck; Weezer; Cee Lo Green (always) Beatles; Pearl Jam; Pink Floyd

Movies: It's A Wonderful Life; To Kill A Mockingbird; Brokeback Mountain; Atonement; Reservoir Dogs; Fargo; Old School ( Hadn't watched it until recently. Got tired of my brother berating me for not knowing what movie he was quoting again. Now I get it. To my brother: "I like you...YOU'RE CRAZY! But I like you." Funny

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One?!? The Sky. Every day I take a moment to look up. Whether it's the pinks and oranges and golds that swish across the sky outside my window at sunset, a cool thunderstorm, a rainbow, the moon or just a cloud shaped like a bunny, it never fails to remind me that life is beautiful.
