What does it all mean?

Where we were born and raised...

Where, how and when we received our education...

What we do to earn enough just to survive in a world we were born into...

-

I could mention that I grew up in the Bay Area...

I'm still growing up.

I take it back.

I don't want to grow up.

I'm growing into-

Into more of my truest myself.

-

Where is home?

What is home?

-

I still dream of cool San Francisco summers, the foggy coast, and the dry heat of the valley...even after moving away in 2011.

Where is home?

-

I've grown my family in the rainy grey winters and swift golden summers of the Pacific Northwest.

What is home?

-

I could mention that I am a mom to two beautiful humans...

I learn from them every day.

I remind them that they don't have to grow up either.

I am not defined by this role but rather... I'm defining the role.

-

I could mention my education and professional experiences, how it took me 12 years to decide what I wanted to go to school for after burning myself out in the restaurant industry.

-

I'd rather mention-

All I really want is to provide my community encouragement to live a playful life and embody my role in creating an artistically revolutionary life.

Bold.

Captivating.

Colorful.

Inspiring.

Creative.
