CURRENT MISSION

To expand my understanding of humanity: to experience foreign cultures, to engage individuals and communities of all ethnicities, to learn a new language, to grow my level of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion; to have fun!

ABOUT ME

Little gal with a huge heart; articulate in thought and on paper; a lover of life!

PHILOSOPHY

To live each moment in that moment, completely present. This is perhaps obviously an aspiration, as I often fail, but I keep trying!

To respect all creatures, all systems of valuation and belief, all ideologies equally, and to attempt to understand them; to practice empathy and tolerance.

To share love.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Diversity and contrast amaze me. I've been married and separated, completely alone and lost individuality in the richness of community. I've stood atop the lower-48s highest peak and within its deepest desert. I cherish tears and laughter alike; delight in the breadth of human emotional capacity. Life is amazing; each day presents itself as a contestant for the being the "most amazing"!

教，学，和分享

I will happily share whatever I can about the natural world, about rock climbing, alpinism, cross-country travel.
