One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've felt the Peace that passeth all understanding - and have been forever changed by the experience

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about wild edible plants, herbal and natural remedies, have kept bees. I have a big interest in music so although I'm a rank amateur I can appreciate making improv music with others and certainly know that I can learn from musicians. Would LOVE to practice my Portuguese (Brazilian) with anyone as well!
