CURRENT MISSION

finding my way and finding myself

ABOUT ME

Le vent se lève! The wind rises. I was born in Florida, went to school in Missouri, took a job in Montana, and now I'm moving to Pennsylvania. I've picked up the gentility of the south, the kindness of the Midwest and the edge of the Montana mountains. I love everyone. I am caring. I am curious. And I have a lot of life left to live.

PHILOSOPHY

"What makes the desert beautiful," says the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well." - The Little Prince
