Professional Name: Joodie Shy

Birthdate: October 17, 1989

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Blogger, Entrepreneur, Artist and Lifestyle Visionary

History: Blogging and designing websites for eight years. Taking pictures, developing film and playing with Photoshop for five years. Starting my own web businesses and dabbling in e-commerce for four years. Internet vixen (currently retired) for almost three years. On a brand new creative and spiritual quest since March 2010, when my father suddenly passed away.

Current: I consider myself to be on an unmapped path at the moment. I am writing during this new quest of mine and sharing all that I learn. Searching for many things I consider the top priorities to be: passionate living, simplicity, inner peace, growth and personal expression. I’d love to be an overflowing being of love and great peace for the world. Wherever I’m headed, I have no map to lead me there, only my intuition and trust that the universe will support me. Hopefully I will write a novel about all this someday soon.

Idols: Buddha, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Cohen, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Eve Ensler, SARK, Tom Hodgkinson, Gala Darling, Marianne Williamson, Chris Guillebeau, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Christopher McCandless, Erin Doland, Jack Kerouac, Danielle LaPorte, Gretchen Rubin, Seth Godin, Jenna Avery, Dyana Valentine, Julia Cameron, Colleen Wainwright, Dan Price, Sierra Bender, Bindu Wiles and my family. (Yes this is a big list, but these people are all really extraordinary and I adore hearing about their lives, their books, their adventures, their blogs, and their important lessons to live by.)

Sidekick: How could anyone with a sidekick/best friend as amazing as mine NOT mention them in their autobiography. Probably the single most grounding force in my life is my tiny dog Daisy. I aspire to live and love just as joyfully as she does everyday. The beginning: I jumped a leap of faith right after turning 18 and getting my own place. I rescued a retiring breeding dog from a Colorado puppy mill. I had never met her before (only saw her photo online) and she could have been a rabies infested fleabag for all I knew! But we met at the airport, I took her home, and she walked with her wobbly little legs right into my lap. And forever there she would love to stay.
