WHO I am? Hehe, where to begin!

 

While writing this section of my website, I thought why not ask those closest to me how they’d describe me?

​

Here are some words they shared:

unsubmitting, all-encompassing, thorough, compassionate, spirited, loving, talkative, confident.

​

Two words that come to mind for me are loving and tenacious. Love, for me, is the most important value in my life, and I don't mean the peace, happiness, zen type of love, but the love that is messy, real, and provoking. The kind that asks us to be honest, to face what’s uncomfortable, and to connect beyond the barriers that keep us safe but small.

​

My tenacity fuels the way I practice and embody love. I don’t give up easily, and I love a good challenge, especially where there is nuance and complexity.

​

I am an animal lover. I grew up with horses, and they’ve shaped who I am in ways I cannot even begin to articulate. If I could be an animal, I would want to be a wild horse or a bird, so I could fly.

​

I guess I haven’t fully answered who I am. Perhaps there isn’t one single answer, and I don’t think something as intricate as identity can ever be fully expressed in words, but this gives you a glimpse :)
