CURRENT MISSION

To be a super-hero

ABOUT ME

I'm a practical-idealist (humanist, if you will), in her early-thirties. I believe that if I do have a purpose on this crazy little thing we call "Earth", it's to learn, help people, and create beautiful things.

PHILOSOPHY

Those who love peace must learn to organize as well as those who love war.
- Dr. Martin Luther King
