Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the internet. I'm so glad you stopped by (technologically speaking) and I realize if you're reading this, you probably have a pretty simple question:
"Who the heck writes this stuff?"
Well the answer to that is simple - Me! The real question, of course, is who am I? Well friend I'd love to tell you . . . the trick of it is, I'm still trying to find that out. Aren't we all, at least a little bit?

On the good days, I am as big as my dreams: performing on Broadway, going to Columbia for grad school, seeing the world, starting a large & happy family.
Other days I fear I am as small as my fears: snakes, heights, elevators. Being forgotten. Forgetting.

I try to live up to my beliefs: in Salvation, forgiveness, and redemption. I believe in miracles & hard work: family & adventure. In keeping one eye on the future, one eye on the past, and your head in the present.

I am ambitious and talkative and read too much and talk too much and sleep too little. I'm a strong believer in adventure and an avid seeker of it. I try to find at least a little inspiration in every day life. I don't believe that life just happens to you: rather I believe life is motion, action, doing. They didn't call it The Big Stillness or The Thought of Creation, it was a bang and an act and that's the way I strive to live.

I hope friend I've answered "who writes this stuff?" to your satisfaction, and you stick around to read along with me. If not, I hope you're intrigued enough to still read along - if only to discover the "who." If neither of the above apply, I hope you have a wonderful day and visit again soon!
