CURRENT MISSION

Learning, learning, learning....adjusting to our new life in America

ABOUT ME

Happy to be here Mom to ...two great teens who are warm, interesting, creative young people. Ages 17+15. Kids have grown up in Moscow, Russia, from the States as I was invited to Russia as marketing specialist for construction/development co in '94. Found the great treasure of Russia is its hospitality and its people. Over 20 years in sales+marketing and sales-promotion mostly premiums for BK, Arby's, RJR,... Have lived many wonderful chapters of my life with travel adventures all over Asia, Europe+ USA. My love for business translated into a new chapter of inner growth+exploration. Great passion for people, wonderful books, interesting shoes+ the unexpected. Dream to spend time in each place on our places to go list to taste and savour every bite. Wonderful, memorable adventures, great postcards in my memory. We....are spiritual, cerebral, passionate about life, people, learning+ living full life. We like to make mistakes, get messy, dream Big, laugh at ourselves and start again!!

PHILOSOPHY

Simply, just live full life as possible. We make our own fate, cause+effect, the things we do or don't do in our lives. For me, life is only becomes life when we have compassion, conscience, character + courage. Full life means welcoming change even when dif. It means having open mind which opens our hearts. The proc of life is the greatest joy possible..and along the way, learn to laugh as Life is truly a comedy.
