One amazing thing I've done is raise 12 children and enjoy a 30-year marriage to my best friend. A widow now, I'm considering other amazing things I can do, such as write another book or travel to every state in the U.S., or around the world.

While there is much I can teach, I very much enjoy learning about the lives and experiences of others and being delighted by the paradox of how much alike--yet so different--we all are. A published author and blogger, I'm an analytical psychologist, a good listener, and enthusiastically conversant in things personal and transpersonal. We share what we have with guests. As a household, we're lively and hospitable while also understanding of a person's need for peace and quiet. We'll try and offer you both.

My three youngest kids are all in college and commute from our Oklahoma City home. We have a unique and interesting family culture, being a large multi-racial family built through birth and adoption. My kids range in age from 18-36 years, and I have eight grandchildren already! Besides sharing stories about our huge and unusual family, we can entertain you with music, cook together, and take you along to any music or cultural events we're doing at the moment.
