I manifest love and compassion in everything I do.

I practice continuous improvement, seeking quality as a means rather than an end.

I explore fulfilling ways to work and play, and try to share them with as many people as possible.

I strive to be present, and to act consciously and deliberately.

I live playfully and whimsically.

I prefer fluidity over rigidity.

I live well under my means, and keep only what I need.

I expect nothing in return.

I believe that healing happens through community.

There is no solace in a believe that denies someone care.

It is our responsibility to lift each other up.

I speak as I, step up, and step back.

I prefer transparency of information whenever possible.

I work to clearly separate opinion from fact, and beware believing things because I want them to be true, or because I fear they might be true.

I believe that life is the future, not the past.

I am not chained to the ones I love; I deliberately choose to show up, and when I show up I am all-in.

Love is about breathing life into each other.

Above all else, I strive to be a safe haven.

I live primarily to create, rather than to consume.

I work at a sustainable pace, but maintain a sense of urgency.

I prefer to work and learn in the open.

I design and create with ethics and accessibility in mind.

I believe that in sound reasoning, contradictions cannot exist.

I believe explicit is better than implicit; simple is better than complex; complex is better than complicated; now is better than never; although never is often better than right now.

In the face of ambiguity, I refuse the temptation to guess.
