About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The grand experiment: Expatriate? to start a new life chapter in Italy.

ABOUT ME

Life and living become at once more urgent yet simple after 50. Tomorrow or the next life? My spiritual practice and my art drive me, I practice vajrayana Buddhism and specialize in care for the sick and dying.
I am a performing artist, actress, dancer, choreographer and physical comedian. Have a small business called "A Sky Inside" home organizing and design, a kind of buddhist-fengshui approach to living spaces.

My quest is to integrate all into a simpler yet most satisfying existence, where recognition that we (and our planet) are all inter-connected. I have always beeen drawn to Europe, Italy and Ireland in particular. I am single, with one loving pet: my kitty JJ. He is coming with me. We have dual nationality, so may stay a while.

Wish to meet like-minded peace loving, conscious people with good sense of humor. I'm neat, clean and
open to a good barter situation for at least a month.

PHILOSOPHY

I am committed to trying to help, not harming anyone or anything, and working on my interior world to be the best huuman being I can be.
