My Interests


Expression through all froms of art. Good music to dance to. Wildlife. Seasons. Environment and energy conservation. Relationships; in society, among animals, and between all life on this planet. I want to travel and see the world for myself, so as to learn through exploration rather than faith alone. Sometimes I wish life would slow down a bit, so I could take a breath and relax and take my time to paint. A life of luxury would include all of these things, with my love and never without my Snufkin, plus a lot of good movies and good books and good food, along with some excellent adventures =) And I love the ocean and hope that wherever I do end up making my home, I will never be too far from it.

Gummy Bears!
