Willow's Bio

I could begin by telling you where I was born and when.  I could talk about my upbringing and my career trajectory.  But that would be boring.

Simply put, I am always changing. My life has consisted of breaking through one boundary or another.  Whether these boundaries were imposed from the outside, or created from within, they were there for me to transcend.

My life and training has evolved from the paradigm of pain and suffering to the realization that there is nothing real but love.  Love in my life and love for my bike are the only things that have saved me from the illusion of darkness.

I spent many years struggling in despair.  I now know that it is important to ask myself the right questions, and then I will receive the right answers.  If I stay in this moment, on this climb, in this effort, the energy I embody is amazing.  If I compare myself to the past or worry about a future race, I am depleted in the moment.  Moment to moment is the only thing that matters.

Besides soul searching and spirit questing, I love many things about life.  I collect crystals and enjoy everything a river has to offer.  I love wine, especially the organic sulfite free variety.  I love being a nurturing woman to the men in my life, Myles and TC.  I also love dressing up and wearing a pair of fabulous heels for a night on the town with my girls.  I am a beginner in belly dancing and using acrylic on canvas.  I love using my words to express the life inside of me.

I love riding my bike when the sun is out, and I love skate-skiing and snowboarding when it’s not.  I love animal totems and their powers, feathers and their magic and most of all I love discovering the new in every day.  I love the perfect Brazilian bikini, and NARS lipgloss. I REALLY relax when I am lying on the beach.  Music inspires me and sushi is delicious.  I am thankful for all the spirit guides in my life and the beauty that surrounds me.  I will always be changing, I will always be growing, I will always be love.
