| About Me
|
|
|
|
Recently moved to Seattle to settle. I am kind, thoughtful, sometimes funny, upbeat, service orientated, romantic and enjoy giving all The Five Love Languages as in the author Gary Chapman. My top love languages are touch and quality time. I am affectionate, adventures, into self-growth of body/mind and spirit, easy going and balanced introvert and extrovert. I am a number 9 the Peacemaker in the Ennagram and in Chinese Astrology the sign of the Rabbit. When challenged I focus on gratitude. I have a very part-time practice giving bodywork massage I have done for over 40 years and was a massage teacher for 17 years. Just rejoined a ManKind Project men's group and also in another men's group for 30 plus years. Always up and open to new adventures of all sorts. I like to be in any form of nature, gentle hikes, swim, like movies, non-drinker, non-smoker. Like to met a kindred spirit in a life long journey of growth on all levels. Has been and still is my mission and purpose in life is to teach caring touch. Founder/director of two nonprofits serving ill kids and their families. Hope to met someone who resonates to the above. |

I'm happiest when:

Teaching caring touch, focused on saying a Hindu Mantra and then sending out unconditional love through the ether's of friends struggling, talking or hanging out with friends, being with and/or zooming with my son or daughters. Giving Bodywork and hearing it made a difference. Going to a spiritual Sufi gathering, Center for Spiritual Living (Science of Mind) on Sunday of any variety. Taking pictures of flowers or interesting cloud formations. Zooming with past men's group of 30 years or attending new ManKind Project weekly men's group in person. Doing hand building with clay and then painting it and putting loving words on the back.

If I could have dinner with any three people, they would be:
-
Oprah Winfrey...to ask her to help promote my vision (Spirits mission to teach caring touch for peace)
