CURRENT MISSION

wow, my mission. It's just too big, and all-over-the-place. To be authentic and open, that'd be one piece. Genuine. And to encourage others to be/do the same. By example, and through gentle encouragement, & loving. For children, too ~ same thing.

up through college, at Oberlin, environmental studies degree. . . and, *Life*! Even more so, than any 'formal' schooling; to be sure. It's all about experiential education! :)
