Very glad for my big family at all times! Also glad of this thoughtful space to share thoughts with readers and write my way through life attempting to evade the Machine and enhance real connection.

I am in the US, turning 60 launching new businesses and hitting the road into uncharted territory and SO grateful for your writing, so deeply nourishing!!! "The poison of disembodied living has a simple cure" Thank you for continuing to show up here and for all that you embody, giving me hope!
