MadeWellDone has allowed me to truly be myself, be innovative, and share my sense of humor with the world.
My day job is anything but creative, so this has been a great outlet these past couple of months. It’s crazy how fast-moving this has been, but SO very rewarding and 100% worth it.
Quirky greeting cards are just the beginning of MadeWellDone, as there are a million more ideas brewing in this twisted brain I’m grateful to call mine. I realized I have yet to introduce myself (mainly because I can be painfully shy), but figured I should just do it. So here goes. I hope you like me! *cries*
About me
- I am an introvert – ISFJ, Life Path # 11, Enneagram #6, Scorpio Sun with Scorpio Stellium, and Manifesting Generator.
- I enjoy eating good food and love both savory and sweet. I especially love fish, mushrooms, tofu, Vietnamese cháo, and ice cream.
- I love tea and coffee, but I don’t drink alcohol. One customer asked me if I drink or get high for my crazy ideas (haha!). No, it’s just how my brain naturally works.
- I have never been book-smart and struggled in school, but am so grateful for my common sense and perceptiveness, which can knock each and every one of you the fuck out.
- I love animals, especially pandas (have you seen them get weighed as babies?), dogs, and Himalayan or Persian flat-faced cats that look mean and full of hate.
- A favorite pastime of mine is walking alone and listening to the most peculiar playlist that doesn’t make sense to anyone but me. I love walking in cemeteries and crossing paths with crows and foxes. I find foxes to be so mystical and breathtaking.
- I believe that laughter is the best medicine and makes the world go round. My morbid sense of humor has helped me get through the very toughest of times.
- I cannot stand small talk. We are on this earth for such a short time and to me, there is no point in anything surface level. I enjoy getting to know people inside and out, and in return for myself, feeling safe, connected, loved, and understood.
- As you can see, I can be quite a conundrum being super serious or super silly and there’s no in-between.
Fun (or not) facts
- My dream vacation is to Vienna, Austria. I’m a huge lover of the Before trilogy.
- I have an irrational fear of wild turkeys.
- My biggest celebrity crushes are Idris Elba, Manny Jacinto, and Jessica Gomes.
- When I was a kid, I wanted to be a panda caretaker, Ok fine, I still want to do that.
- My favorite type of art is music. It is my crutch, my therapy, and alongside humor, has remained constant in my life. I miss the old groupie days and going to tons of concerts before kids ruined my life. Jk. I mean enhanced.
- My spirit animal is a phoenix because there is a fire in my soul that only those closest to me can see. Something in you has to die in order to experience the healing power of transformation.
- If I could meet anyone, it would be Jim James of My Morning Jacket. I’d love to talk with him about his songwriting process. I am in awe at how he is able to write such raw, vulnerable, sorrowful, alluring lyrics. My faves are Librarian, Thank You Too, Moving Away, Golden, Circuital, and A New Life. Ok, and One Big Holiday because holy shit the guitar.
- The strangest compliment I receive is that I have beautiful feet.
- I have seen Interstellar a million times because each time it rips my heart to shreds, but I continue to watch it because I love to feel if that makes sense.
- My favorite season is fall, not because of my birthday (where my Scorpio bitches at?) but because it gets a little colder, quieter, darker, and something about that combo calms me.
- My go-to karaoke song is Triumph by Wu-Tang Clan because it showcases my hidden talent for spittin’ rhymes. My favorite verse is by Inspectah Deck, a close second is U-GOD’s. Another go-to karaoke song is Everything is Alright by the Glorious Sons.
