About Me:
December 2023: Currently in Eagan, MN, USA. This year, I spent 2months in SE Asia, and 3 weeks in Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Gulf Coast of Florida, and another 3 weeks on a road trip to Washington and Oregon. I may be headed to MO, USA for the next chapter!
I write the Newsletter for The Anastasia Foundation! Please sign up to receive it, it's really great. =)
Please, “come as you are", and I will come as I am too. We’ll meet and go from there. 💜🌻
I would call myself an explorer and wonder-er (not wanderer=), at heart. I find the most exciting place to explore is actually the vast expanse of my inner world. It's unlimited, unconditional, it never lies and I can always go there for a trusted place to laugh, cry, seek solace or wisdom or hang out with some great company (because I find myself pretty entertaining).
I find that what shows up to explore in my outer world (or on the pages of my storybook) can have me running the gamut of emotions but I enjoy meeting this head on and I've observed my typical approach to any day or situation being to observe, wonder and work towards always responding with my best... and then I do a pretty good job getting back to awe.
In other words I LOVE to be alone yet I also enjoy the deep companionship of others.
~I've been called a deep thinker and an enchanting conversationalist (when inspiration hits, otherwise I can be pretty silent). I don't necessarily have favorite topics as much as favorites ways of conversing - supporting a conversation, be it movies to economics or even just silence is an art that I'm learning. But I love wondering why I do what I do.
~I love to play, and have an unencumbered silly side.
~I'm always seeking to understand and help others to understand what they want as well.
~My aim is co-creation and joy from its contemplation. Pretty simple but requires flexibility, agility, and big open eyes and heart 👀 because in joy there is meaning and that can look an unfathomable number of different ways.
