At 11:24 am, February 5, 1973 I poked my head into this world. I was born into a family of creative dreamers and artists. It has taken me many years to find my own artistic passion and to get over the intimidation of growing up with so much talent . . .
I am queer: I don’t give a flying flip what gender or non-gender you are, as long as you are true to yourself, we are good.
I am transgender: I know and am quite happy with who I am. I hope you are too. I believe that gender is a silly and ambiguous thing. If you do not agree, or are someone who believes that genitalia are an important gender qualifier chances are we will not enjoy spending too much time together.
I am a Psy. D. student: Fulfilling a life-long desire to practice psychology, which for me means the ability to hold space for others to do the work they need to realize their whole selves.
I am continually learning to be present, exploring what it is that feeds my soul and creates health. I am willing to explore the darker, painful parts of my life as part of my commitment to my personal growth. I am not perfect, nor have I attained enlightenment. I try to be mindful of the foods I put into my body. This is a life-long challenge for me. I am pescetarian (mostly vegan with the exception of seafood) and love exploring raw foods. I love moving my body (dancing, yoga, etc.).
I cry and love easily, trust, however is something that is extremely hard for me to extend. I am intense, honest, and learning to be open. I get ridiculously nervous when I have a crush on someone. I’m told this is cute. I think boundaries are sexy and loving oneself is even sexier. Out of love and respect for myself I am incredibly picky about the people I let into my life. I believe in growing a chosen family built on mutual love, support and respect.
And despite all you have just read, I am actually, seriously a very private person.
Writing is one of my passions, this site is dedicated to that passion. Often, however, I allow my personal writing to take a backseat to assigned grad school writing. I am hoping to change that.
