CURRENT MISSION

To become fluent in French, to travel in France and to meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a good listener, a little quiet. I don't smoke and drink little alcohol. I love practicing law. Great way to help people and exercise your brain. I am currently training for a half marathon in March. It is called the Tobacco Road Marathon in Durham North Carolina USA. My husband and I run four times a week. Last year I ran the Tour de Carrboro three races in Carrboro North Carolina. That was a first for me. I am trying to challenge myself. Registering with couch surfing is a big challenge for me. I like to read a lot and I am in a book club with friends. We read one book a month and discuss. Also, my husband and I are in a dinner group. We hosted the French dinner and New Years Eve party. This past weekend I learned to play mah jong. I love to go to movies and musicals, too.

PHILOSOPHY

Challenge yourself, grow, learn and change. Help others do the same. Don't take yourself or anything else too seriously. Be kind.
