About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Learn as much as I can and be as healthy as I can for as long as possible

ABOUT ME
I love meeting new people and visiting friends, love nature, being outdoors, and learning how other people live and think. My husband has traveled to over 40 countries. I've been to 22. I will soon get to my 50th state (Idaho!)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life to make this world a better place, which is why I do fundraising (hunger is my big issue) and develop my capacity for joy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is so full of amazing things this is very hard to narrow down. The birth of our two daughters was pretty amazing.
Every place I've ever traveled had been fun and I've met interesting prople.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been doing fund raising for a long time,and I'd say I'm an expert on that. I'm a very creative thinker. My husband is a wonderful gardener and a 6th grade science teacher, and knows loads of trivia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love of life, helpful, non intrusive.
BTW: I have not been to Afghanistan or French Southern Territories... Just can't figure out how to remove them below!
