It is important to shift focus from what the world has
to offer me, to giving of myself and being receptive
to the gifts of others. |
I believe my purpose is to live wholeheartedly and develop a true sense of belonging in the world. I look for the beauty and good in things. I hold firm to the thought, Everything is working for good.
Life brings obstacles and it's important for me to not get rid of them but to relate to them creatively. I belive it is important to develop the strength of character, steadiness of mind to fully experience whatever life brings.
Living in gratitude keeps my journey alive and vital. Being grateful makes me kinder to myself as well as kinder to other people.

Global travel, spiritual and physical activities are what makes my spirit sing! I have traveled all over the world and I especially enjoy Asia:
Thailand, Burma, Laos. In June 2008, I visited Bhutan. I have
been to Stary Sambir, Ukraine and Russia several times to visit my relatives.
My husband (Dan) owns a kayak store, Carlsbad
Paddle Sports, and we enjoy exploring beautiful places. Our last trip was to Roatan, Honduras and before that we visited the mysterious Mergui Archipeligo in Myanmar (Pictured above) .

A personal reminder:
My life is bigger than I am! |

As a member of Seaside Center for Spiritual Living, I enjoy taking classes on metaphysical topics. I am an outdoor enthusiast and a pratitioner of yoga. I
love the ocean and water sports especially kayaking and
paddlesurfing.
Nurturing a beautiful home and garden,
and spending quality time with loved ones are my other
enjoyments.
