I am always working on myself, and always willing to admit when I don't know. If that's not something you resonate with or can accept, you should probably not waste your time reading further. My day-to-day seems pretty standard when I think about it, but I feel like I live for the moments between the cracks when true personal connection or adventure peeks out and gives me an ear-to-ear smile. I attempt to create at least one of those moments each day, challenge myself to learn something, and push myself in some way. I am pretty mellow, generally pleased with things, and have an adventurous spirit.

Currently assistant teaching at a montessori school, and spending my free time on learning yoga, studying for diving certification, swimming, learning to rock climb, and having fun with photography and other arts, and riding my bike. I'm excited to learn new things, travel and find new thrills. I'm working on learning how to do basically any outdoor activities. I'd like to also start going back to school soon to finish up my BA in Educational Studies (although I've changed my major more times than I remember). It's my dream to one day have and live in an earth ship, hopefully one that I helped build, out near some hot springs, a river and redwood trees, (or in the Virgin Islands) and to still continue teaching young ones. When this dream comes to fruition I envision also having a seafoam green vintage truck which is converted to biodiesel or another environmentally sound alternative.

finding the beauty in things, being calm in stressful situations, camping, lying about in a hammock, understanding sub-conscious motivations

my dreams and my goals, manifestation, the sea, and the Zombie apocalypse

gardening a bit, then relaxing in my hammock while reading with pandora playing chill music or youtube scenes of the sea, or watching comedy , cooking something fresh and yummy; then either going to a friend's house, going swimming, going out downtown with buddies, or passing out early to catch-up on missed sleep during the week

When I was a kid I thought I could actually fly if I wanted to badly enough and no one was watching. Sometimes I still believe this.
