I am a writer, artist, designer, photographer, foodie, urban anthropologist, and pop culture junkie. I've been on this planet for sixty-ish years, but who's counting? I think embracing life wholeheartedly is the only way to go. Laugh/cry; Work hard/play harder; Make it beautiful/make it messy; Take the road less traveled/take the freeway. Just don't take it for granted. Sure, you'll get lost occasionally; but sometimes you have to lose yourself to find yourself...

How do you know you're going to do something, until you do it?

If you wish to be treated with respect, act with integrity. Don't expect more if you don't appreciate what you have. Love is not currency; it is a gift.

- Me

Everything you can imagine is real.

- Pablo Picasso
