CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I knit when I have time and a place to sit, yarn, and needles. I appreciate good beer, good coffee, good food, and good conversation. I recently returned from a 10-month journey to South America, and got my TEFL certificate. I fell in love, ate $8 lobster, saw Uruguay, and realized I need an activity to keep me in one place for awhile.

PHILOSOPHY

We can't positively move forward without compassion for others.
