CURRENT MISSION

when i leave this world, i want to go out with a bang, not a whimper

ABOUT ME

oh boy, my friends would say a lot - hopefully it would include: fun loving, easy going, humorous, warm, nurturing, adventurous, love to laugh, enjoy good conversation (along with a glass of wine, possibly a merlot or. . .) but i digress ! spiritual, artistic, young at heart, open minded, enjoying the journey of life

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in a higher power. my goal is to make a difference in my corner of the world. i need people around me who are gentle and nurturing souls. as a teenager i believed in existentialism and Sartre's words: we create our own jail, close the door, lock it and throw away the key, then spend the rest of our life trying to escape through the window. now . . . ah, now i believe in creating a bit of heaven for myself and others here on earth - there are no walls, no barriers - anything is possible
