CURRENT MISSION

To remain astoundingly Fascinated with Life on our amazing Planet!

ABOUT ME

Simplicity is key.
And to be at peace- inside.
To Slow down, and be present.
My Community is Very important to me. I love sitting at a Great Big table full of friends/ loved ones, piled high with food that we have grown, harvested, ground, fermented, preserved, and loving prepared.
Connecting to the Life and Wilds about us is also a major theme in my life. To take the time to see and appreciate the incredible life that surrounds us on a regular basis. A great deal of my last ten years has been lived outside.
I have recently been getting excited about sharing and learning- with people. Simple folk songs. I am really not a singer, but i love the sharing.
