About MeSwimming with sharks in Tahiti, rafting on the Ganges River, playing Underwater Monopoly, innertubing in a cave of glowworms, communing with whales in Baja... I believe in living life to its fullest by connecting with the divine in everything and everyone! I especially enjoy cross-country skiing, orienteering, boogie boarding, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, camping (basically anything outdoors), arts and crafts, yoga, tantra, and Asian culture, and cuisine. I am currently focusing on transitioning from the corporate world to the world of healing arts. I am currently studying and practicing Reiki and Healing Touch. My friends consider me to be generous, honest, fun-loving, and zany (even though I sometimes feed them stale food). And I believe in speaking my mind (so no games) and living in the moment. Although I like adventure, I especially value quality time and snuggling and exchanging massages with someone special. Whatever the activity, connecting with friends and the universe is at the top of my list.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"Every day the path to your own spirituality starts with clarifying who you are and what you want. Not just things--things are easy. I mean the stuff that really matters.
