I have created a foundation that works successfully with recovering addicts. We also work with other vulnerable Americans suffering from challenges that interrupt the normal and positive functioning in life. I especially like working with children who may have a parent who is an addict. My passion is the maltese breed of dogs! I have owned the breed for 18 years. I love life, and I am pretty much interested in everything. : -)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because I am building a foundation and it will be so helpful to be abl to put my financial resources toward my foundation. In addition, I was a flight attendant for many years and traveled all over the world. My favorite thing is to meet new people, and build new friendships.

Interests

Anything connected to nature....gardening, farming, all animals. I love museums, art, classical literature. i enjoy starting and structuring and building companies....on a small scale! I teach recovery from addiction.....I help to lead people out of the darkness when they are ready to become whole again. : -) I love life, and work to connect to others and stay in the present moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Classical/ Andrea Boccelli, Josh Groban, Lorena McKennett, All Christmas music ;-) I keep light classical in the background frequently. I like Yanni and beautiful new age music.

I have a book at home called The Mirror of Light by Rodney Collin which inspires me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Founding my charity, I think is amazing because I have MS so it is against all odds that I am doing this.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach empowerment through positive emotions and love. Learn to be the best person I can be and help others to do so as well. Share anything and everything that makes this moment more special for me and others.

I will share my love, positive energy and good nature, and I will be happy to help in any way that i can!
