Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission in life is not to merely survive, but to thrive to do so with Passion, compassion and some humor and style just like Maya Angelou.
ABOUT ME
Just an old girl with no expectations on anyone but me. I'm resilient and love change but but this years changes have left me a little flabbergasted at the moment.
I'm keeping busy with temp work and volunteering until I find where I belong. It has been a rough year, circumstances beyond my control -- topped off with a dose of hurricane sandy and a long hard road to recovery.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is an adventure & I'm on it, currently the road has been long hard & rough, but when I arrive where I belong it will have been worth the motion sickness.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I may need a couch or 2 here or there, I've been sending out resumes nationally. I'm in a cash crunch situation so if I get one of these amazing positions I can barter - I'm a fantastic cook, I have mad skills as a landscaper and organizer and laundry is not a chore it's a fact of life. I also see this is about exploring my own community with new people, I am ready!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
NOTHING USING THIS SITE but I am a very conscientious human being & work double time to respect boundaries and homes when invited.
