CURRENT MISSION

I want to learn more about the world and people.

I want to listen to and empower others, live simply, enjoy life, eat veggies.

ABOUT ME

I love the great outdoors and long to travel to more beautiful places! I like to hear people's stories, and have a few good ones myself. I love fashion, wine and the great outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is right now, and now is all we have.

I want to grow in understanding. Good things are: diversity, equity and inclusion, unconditional love, awareness of self and others, open-mindedness. I think that to be able to live with a 'big picture' outlook is important. To see past my own seeming beliefs and desires, and those of my community/ state... To consider ideas from multiple perspectives and maintain an open mind as new or different information yields itself.
