CURRENT MISSION

To visit Oaxaca to help my grown son who is sick

ABOUT ME

I'm single and semi-retired, although quite active. I am a mother of two grown children and grandmother to two lovely girls. I've always enjoyed traveling when possible. I grew up in Taiwan and then went to school in Southern California and Pennsylvania where I graduated as a psychologist. I lived in Colorado for many years and then Australia and California. I now live in Massachusetts where I share a home with great roommates and two cats. I like to live simply and artistically. I believe in social justice for all. For fun and exercise I like to swim; I love theater and movies and I take photographs.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply so that others may simply live.
Live with intention, love with abandon.
