CURRENT MISSION

I am always looking to find new and interesting ways to grow spiriturally, physically, and creatively. Currently I am looking to start playing the mountain dulcimer again. (we can still learn at 62 right!)

ABOUT ME

I have spent a lot of my life in Fl....currently in Bradenton Fl. My lifestyle is simple with frequent visits to the beach with friends and family. Nothing like swimming in the Gulf! My husband and I live on a small "lake" where we love to watch the wildlife-mostly birds, while we have our morning coffee. I enjoy traveling,listening to music our friends make, eating delious meals with our "Gourmet Dining Club", meditating and doing yoga, reading a good book, making silver and gold jewelry and getting adjusted (my husband is a Network Chiropractor)

PHILOSOPHY

I am a light hearted person that loves to laugh. Life is to short to be to serious. Looking for the bright side of any given situation always makes things go easier. Look for the signs-they are there waiting to be discovered if we just pay attention.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music, but often will find me tuned in to soft jazz. Last book I read that I thought was amazing was "Pillars of the Earth", but the last book I read was "The Mermaid Chair". Our Book Club read "The Help".
The movie was good too. Great movies: 50 First Dates, Chicago, Slumdog Millionaire, The Dutchess, and Date Night......just to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have swam with the dolphins in Kealakekua Bay Hawaii. Have traveled to Amsterdam, and many places in Italy. Loved seeing the Duomo in Florence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach jewelry making at home and at the local art center. I belong to several groups that learn and share their talents with one another.
