I'm an Interaction Designer who's very curious about people and the odd, amazing things they do. I like to hear and read stories, especially about "ordinary" people. No one is really ordinary to me. That's one thing that makes life fascinating to me.

Spirit means caring and doing something about it. It means letting my higher power show me what I need to do. Spirit means trying hard even if you don't know if it's worth it because it usually is.

Design, writing in my journal every day, drawing, collage, walking with my 3 wonderful dogs, traveling, reading, hanging out with friends.

Nature, protecting the planet, the ocean, history, pop culture, odd signs, photography.

Finding my dog Marley in the cemetery on Christmas Eve. I wanted a dog for Christmas. Maybe she found me. She's a border collie mix and very, very smart.
