I'm also a doula.
Living in Albany has gotten rid of any self esteem I ever had
I'm convinced greatness in small quantities is the key to happiness.

My Interests

traveling, children, community, double spice chai tea, freeschooling, deschooling, radical education, books, bicycles, zines, woodstoves, letters and far away friends. oh, and fucking shit up.

I'd like to meet:

people lost and forgotten. Especially those from my life before i was a school teacher in upstate ny.

Books:
