CURRENT MISSION

to know that when I move on, I'll be smiling about how incredible my life has been.

ABOUT ME

I'm an indie girl by looks, but a beach bum by heart.

A fervent Anglophile having lived in England.

my most prized loves in life are dance, travelling, learning, and loving.

having a soundtrack to my life makes things extra fun.

instant comfort comes in the form of a beach, tides, and a good book.

some quirks: cheesy music/movies, being disorganized but knowing exactly where everything is, love-hate relationship with digital cameras, improvisational cooking, perfectly brewed coffee, sunday morning brunch in my backyard, writing way too many things on my hand

PHILOSOPHY

learn. love. live.

"isn't that the real secret? the simplest truth? isn't that what the gurus and wise ones have been saying since before Jesus was a tingle in the loins of God?
to be SO present,
so hotly, divinely connected to the moment you are in,
that time loses all relevance and age means nothing,
and opportunity shows up exactly as it should,
and the REAL accomplishment, the REAL sense of achievement comes from celebrating each and every breath like it was a shot glass of molten meaning?"
-Mark Morford, SF Chronicle columnist

"...and I would like to beg, you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don't search for the answers which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.
and the point is, to live everything.
live the questions now.
perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live you way into the answer."
- Rainer Maria Rilke
