CURRENT MISSION

Holding a living vision that enlightens & uplifts.

ABOUT ME

Born in England, & been living abroad most of my life. Oregon, USA has been home since 1991...8yrs in Hood River, on the "North Coast" (along the Columbia River) & 12 yrs on the Southern Oregon Coast. Lived in a few places around the world..& started out young, when i was 3months old lived in Nigeria, then lived in Australia & Spain during the 70's. I am not religious, but have a deeply spiritual side, & clearly have spent a few lifetimes as a buddhist monk/nun. I love Hula Hoopin!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you would like to be treated yourself. To me, this includes all life! Bugs, Critters...you name it. I feel a need to simplify life. & yet feel connected in a more multi-dimensional way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Got given the title of "Arhat" by a Buddhist Rinpoche.. & named a "dharma protector" by another. Been working on realizing what exactly that means for the last 10yrs now. I am fascinated by the "language" of synchronicity, & lucid Dreaming. I am learning to play music, & be a better gardener.
