CURRENT MISSION

Opening to the world and to this life

ABOUT ME

I am curious about almost everything, an avid conversationalist, reader, schemer, and dancer. I love most animals, but especially cats. I have a devious streak. I enjoy making people feel comfortable, accepted and welcome.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice gratitude; explore inside and out; question, love, dream.
