My astrological sign is Leo the Lion and as much as I do not
base my life on astrological signs, there is a lot of truth in the synopsis of
what a Leo represents: tenacity, egoism, leader…
If I could be any person that has existed I would choose
Julia Child as she encompassed not only a life of risks and ultimate successes
but also a period in history that I love at her peak of career in the 1950s and
60s. She as a woman fighting the prejudices and barriers of a career driven
individual is a great example of graceful feminism.
My experiences result in who I am today. A colorful
upbringing of eccentricity, creativity and lack of wealth made me see the world
as a place full of imagination and possibility. Life was sweeter because not
every desire was instantly granted and where there wasn’t, love and laughter
filled in the gaps. Far from perfect and plenty of rocky roads along the way,
make me appreciate the small things of life.
Some facts about me: I am a 34 year old single woman who
lives with her brother and three miniature dachshunds.
I love my Craftsman era
two story stucco house in the middle of the urban city of Minneapolis. There is
a rough around the edges melting pot of nitty gritty realness about my
neighborhood. A mixture of all walks of life and cultures and orientations
sharing geographical space. A hip, yuppie
café resides on the same block as an African Braid shop and an Italian mom and
pop café where simple, filling fare is served without pretension. I share a lot
of wonderful moments with my five other siblings who live in the cities and
enjoy coffee, photography, walks, estate sales, farmers markets and hole in the
wall restaurants with me. As mentioned by my brilliant compadre, we are neighbors and partake in this vital and raw experience together.
My life’s ambition is to be a hedonist. Enjoy my god given
talents and love and live to my fullest potential. With that begins this blog –
an outpouring of my quotidian experiences to hopefully inspire others in their
own life’s journey.
