I am a youthful retiree, a former computer systems administrator, who is now living a peaceful yet active life along the coast of Oregon. Happily married & caregiver to numerous cats, dogs & visiting wildlife, I love to read, I love to write; I meditate, do yoga, and am endlessly finding new interests and pursuits. I lean left politically, am an environmentalist, a vegetarian, and a believer in evolution AND a higher power. For our nation and our world, I envision better days to come, and urge each and every individual to act in ways that will help produce those better days; to work toward healing the wounds that our myopic vision and discordant behaviors have inflicted on many aspects of life apparent today. It is never too late. May all beings know peace.
