About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed, I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible", Ghandi and my shared philosophy!

ABOUT ME

I am learning to be rather than do...easier said than done...but an interesting journey nonetheless. Sometimes, I'm a story teller...I share stories to laugh, to entertain, to guide. Not endlessly but when you get to know me. I love life but sometimes despair. Gratefully I have loving people who prop me up when I need as I do for them. I love to laugh out loud.
I have a garden of veggies that despite my efforts is free range but still produces some beautiful organic food. I aspire to be rather than do!

PHILOSOPHY

Breathe...come home to your breath...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I know it's not perhaps unique but raising my son is both the most amazing thing I have done. He remains my greatest teacher and probably my greatest love and my bestie!

Teach, Learn, Share

When we're no longer learning, sharing and loving we may as well not be living. I'm totally living!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My home and my time. Please provide your own food and alcohol and contribute positively and respectfully to our environment.

Please take the time to read my CS page and only make a request if you feel we have something in common and you are willing and able to contribute by bringing and making food, cleaning up after yourself and contributing positively to our environment.
