About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the beauty and goodness in each day; each person that crosses my path.

ABOUT ME

I live in the country and love to garden and keep bees; Its so great to wake up to the sounds of nature. I work and enjoy my work but its not the central focus of my life now. Enjoy my rural alternative community, family and friends; Love to host dinner parties and house concerts as community fund raisers.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest - this doesn't have to be wild and extravagant mostly to me means just appreciating the beauty and goodness in each day and each person. Take opportunities when they present themselves and make the most of it; they are gifts.
