Simply, I am a 26-year-old woman living in the heart of Minneapolis with my husband and our traditional Burmese cat.

I grew up in the wilds of Western Wisconsin and had a pretty idyllic childhood and have always been bright with a seemingly insatiable thirst for accumulating knowledge, ideas and making my way toward self-actualization.

Leaving a light footprint on the earth is a desire of mine, and we are fortunate enough to be able to be car-free and I am transitioning to veganism after being an ovo-lacto vegetarian for over ten years.  We have also decided to embrace voluntarily simplicity and not be tethered down by our possessions and influenced as little as possible by the machinations of mass media.  These things are important to me, and I feel fortunate to live in an age and have the privilege to make these decisions.

I am here naturally because I am an incurable optimist who wants to do her part to make the world a brighter and calmer place.  I need more friends and allies and gentle and aware people to interact with.

I've been difficult to pigeon-hole and have a hard time feeling like I belong to societal niches or sometimes the world in general.  I vote, but am not overtly political although I am involved in mental health activism and volunteer at a local collectively run bookstore.  I am not religious or even exactly spiritual, I am interested in energy and where science and the unexplained meet up but I believe there is a God that binds the universe together.  Worship for me is being grateful for being here and fulfilling my purpose and potential.

I am trying to break bad habits and crutches.  I've recently quit smoking and started running and have been losing weight although it makes me nervous that I am trying too hard and too many things at once.

I don't know what I want to be if I ever grow up.  I work as an operations coordinator for a non-profit and enjoy it the vast majority of the time because it's a constant mental challenge and zen like exercise to unravel tangles and complications.

Feel free to add me as a friend or say hello.  I am far from shy.
