| About Me
|
|
|
I just completed my 13th journey to Nepal in service to the rural schools and children, working with Rotary and independently. Every journey is a life changer.
I am retired with a small income, own my 12 acre home, have two grown children in Washington State, love to ride motorcycles (BMWs), camp, hike, read, garden, dance and more. Am part of a 25 yr. meditation group in our area and seek out other Buddhist and spiritual opportunities for learning. Not looking to be a monk, I live a simple lifestyle, enjoy the Middle Path and have a passion for life and adventure.
Professionally was a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, have been a professional photographer for 50 years. Volunteer in my community. |
