I'm an enthusiastic reader who loves hiking, the outdoors, the ocean, animals, and journaling. I have always had many pets, and currently have a dog, 3 cats, a snake, a turtle, and a fish tank. I sew (mostly clothes,) knit, crochet, and spin. I also love cooking and trading recipes! I work for a non-profit company. I love mythology, tarot cards, and other creative ways to think about archetypal ways humans see the world- it helps me remember that even the most different of us have common ground.
