I love to travel, cycle, paint & garden. The simple pleasures such as enjoying a hot cup of coffee to start the day or a quality craft beer at a local brewery, or pausing from the daily grind to catch a stunning sunset are what life is all about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

LOVE LOVE LOVE Zion National Park in Utah!

In 2007 I was in northwestern Germany missing the greatest American holiday of all; Thanksgiving as I and friend Jen visited other friend Jolene in Konigswinter. Another friend Indre, from Lithuania, was traveling around and met us too. We climbed to the top of the gothic cathedral in Kologne Germany, looked out above the Christmas market which was not open when we first started out up the spiral stairway. We greatly enjoyed th trinkets, lights and laighter of the market with not too many euros to spare, we all split chocolate cake at Starbucks stating what we were thankful for to celebrate our Thanksgiving.

Teach, Learn, Share

Painting: show your soul . There are no rules.
Permaculture: grow native to nurture your mind, belly, body and most importantly, mother earth.
