CURRENT MISSION

I'm living in the short term..striving for the moment..almost there!

ABOUT ME

Daughter of a free-lance sports writer and novelist-poet (unpublished) who was an environmentalist before it was fashionable...my parents took our family all over the US and Canada both traveling and living.
Although it took me a while I have become pretty politically active, working for social justice and a sane foreign policy.
I work to live. If I didn't have to make a living I'd be working full time on the political scene.
I have varied interests, mostly in the arts.
My friends are diverse. They don't always like one another. Yet another reason why it is an advantage in this world to have good manners.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live graciously, not ostentatiously, I treasure my friends more than my possessions.
