Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading.
History, travel, autobiographies.
Fantastical realism is one genre I especially enjoy. Micheal Ondatje, Isabelle Allende, Barbara Kingsolver
Old/Original Jazz and Blues, World music, Acoustic, Folk, Ethnomusicology
- just about everything that moves me in the moment
I don't watch many movies, I like Documentaries and some Netflix series

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many rich experiences-
Swimming on horseback - fearlessly flowing physically with the incredible grace, power and presence of the muscular equine animal!
Guiding mule pack trips Baja, Mexico
Giving birth to 3 fabulous children
Living with the seasons in my gardens
Having loved deeply and been loved
