Hi!  Glad you could stop by. 

I'm a retired dot-com'er, AcroYoga monkey(addicted), singer, yogini, dancer, hiker, photographer, writer, seamstress, basket-weaver, composer, designer, organizer, and a Christian, not necessarily in that order.  See My Beliefs for details on what I believe.  If you want to see my business background, check out my bio.  See below for more personal information.

• The Bright Lights Program was started in the fall of 2002 to teach children about helping others. The picture to the right shows the kids in the costumes I made for the May 2003 "Prom Night" theme. Bright Lights is a St. Mark's program but all kids are welcome.

• AcroYoga is my new passion/playtime/joy. I started 10/17/2015 and have fallen deeply in love with the practice and the people. I do a lot of volunteer work but that can be draining. I wasn't feeding myself enough. AcroYoga fills me up and gives me the ability to play like a child, build trust, balance, skills, and make tons of friends. It was the missing piece in my life and I'm so thankful to have found it. See a few pictures here.

• Volunteered at the Opportunity Center of the Midpeninsula, a facility that helps homeless and at-risk individuals and families. I worked primarily with the Family Center in the after-school program until that program ended in late 2017.
• Christmas Day Caroling at the VA Hospital For several years, I've sung carols with 100+ other people at the Palo Alto VA Hospital on Christmas morning to the hospitalized vets. To learn more and see pics/videos, go to the Give for Good site.

• Books about Inspiring People: My favorite type of book is biographies about people who have done amazing things or overcome incredible odds to triumph.

• Office Volunteer and choir member at St. Mark's Episcopal Church.

• St. Mark's Family Choir: A multi-generational choir that sings rounds in church during communion once every 2-3 months.
• Kindness: A page about kindness, what it means to me and ideas for ways to be kind.

• Making baskets, being creative, jogging, and sewing. Go to my house and crafts pics page. You can also see all the crafts I designed for Bright Lights at the Bright Lights Crafts Page.
• I write music. Listen to some of it on my music page.

• I LOVE to hike; I have some pictures and comments about favorite local hikes and hikes in the Swiss Alps, if you like pictures.
• I like fast cars and USED to drive a silver 2000 Corvette. I traded it in for a Prius in April 2015 and I LOVE it!
