About Me

Traveling until Dec. 9th.

I consider the world's population my family. I am eager to meet you all!

I am an ENFJ on Myers Briggs, Strategic, Maximizer, Positivity, Connectedness, Arranger on the Gallup Strengthfinder both done in the last week of 9/16.
I am retired until I find something fun to do and then I'm a part-time consultant or dog sitter, or, ??? whatever sounds fun. I often care for people's homes and pets while they are away.
I have 3 sons and share my husband's two kids with him. We have 12 grandchildren and one great granddaughter. I had a free TWA airline pass as a young person so have travelled some. I love adventure! I love people! I enjoy my life and enjoy sharing fun with others. I am happily married to Dane Steck for over 18 years. We live in a heavenly place on earth, Orcas Island, WA, USA. We will likely travel often together. We'll be going to N Carolina and on to Europe Oct 18, 2016. We've had one experience couchsurfing in Domat/Ems that was fantastic.
Hoping to meet Couchsurfers on our way around Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love the idea of socializing with the people in an area we are visiting.
We enjoy the expansion of our lives by inviting others into our life.
We live conservatively economically.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book at the moment is The Course in Love.
I enjoy "feel good" movies and avoid most others
I enjoy most dance music and inspirational lyrics that lift my spirit - like "I Love Myself The Way I Am" or "You are the Face of God", etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Even at age 74 I still can do the splits.
In spite of failing Spanish in Jr. High, I'm actually learning it now. I enjoy my life work!
I did a skydive a couple of years ago.
I survived the death of my first son.
I survived it when my other two son's were 16 & 18 and I had a divorce experience with their father.
I've convinced myself that everyone is amazing and part of my family in Unity!

Teach, Learn, Share

Have coached families, parents, individuals, businesses, and teachers, etc. for my entire career. Have experience with Nonviolent Communication. I know quite a few solitaire games. :) I have lots of tips for successful living.
I'm a fan of Alfred Adler and Maria Montessori and almost everyone I've ever met.
Interested in ketogenic life style, nutrition and health, exercise, etc.
