I'm a writer, health educator, lifelong student, thinker, wife, imagineer, and human being who has become convinced that having wonder and learning to listen is essential to living a well-full life, while embracing the power to create as a human rule. Other vital ingredients include long easy hikes, river trips, x-country skiing, yoga, learning to be in the body responsibly, reading good books, being compassionate, building community, poetry, painting and cooking.
