Free Diving/Spearfishing...makes me feel happier than almost anything else in the world...I love spending a whole day in the ocean...going out with a three prong and coming home with dinner. ART especially oil painting, watching my rot puppy grow into a monster, COOKING, meeting people, fishing, camping, paddling, bodyboarding, , red wine, bloody marys with salted rims, going on solo missions, daydreaming, taking walks, traveling the world. i like funny people. ...and world peace.
I like having dreams that are a size too big. It's fun to grow into them. :)
The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It's not that we seize them, but that they seize us.
Establishing goals is all right if you don't let them deprive you of life's interesting detours.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
I love food!!!!
....and special people!

About me: These days most people will sum me up as an artist, diver, or cook. These are some of my greatest passions, and I hope to keep active in all of them for the rest of my life. We all have so much to be grateful for, and I try hard to focus on that fact everyday. I live a great, passion-filled life and am usually surrounded by the most wonderful of people. I am still a girl with insecurities, self doubts, and fears which I try to free myself from almost constantly. I enjoy adventure, nature, and meeting and connecting with others. I think that life is very funny, with all the random things it just seems to throw at us, both good and bad, I sometimes just laugh, and think "what's next?" "what do I have to learn now?". I guess it's good to be kept on your toes, and the constant changing of reality, seems to do just that for me. Enjoy the ride as much as possible, I suppose that's my ultimate plan.
Thank you to everyone who helped me do Nationals!!!!!
I appreciate it so much! You made my dreams come true!
See, I was so happy I could barely keep my eyes open! :)

so at dinner time, i wasn't really that hungry so i only took a small piece of your stuffed ono just so i could try it before it went bad. and it was sooooooo super good that i just had to go back to the bag for a much bigger piece. who cares if i'm full, your stuffed ono was just too good to pass up and let go to waste. you are such an awesome cook kimi!! i was telling trav, it tastes just like something they serve in fine dining restaurants. it's that good!! hopefully next time i'll be home to eat it as soon as it gets cooked. thanks for cooking for us!!
Hi Kimi! Thanks for checking out my blog. I've been seeing you all over the place recently (tv, magazine covers, online) and I always say "That's my friend Kimi!" I love your art! Oh, and I read your blog about the cats.... I SO wanted to adopt all of the kittens (even ugly) but we can't have pets in our place :*(
