One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything is amazing, if looked at in the right way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in teaching and learning mainly by example and/or spontaneously, because I never know what kinds of things I might exchange with another person until I interact with them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If we get onto fascinating subjects, you'll have an avid and sympathetic listener. Also I'm a good wingwoman and love to help people with things they're stuck on--material or otherwise--if I have the skills or experience (or maybe even if I don't 😉). If I happen to have knitting needles, yarn, and a little bit of time, I can knit you a scarf or placemat!
