Introducing myself and my journal: the thing with feathers



About Me:
Hello! I am excited to be joining this amazing virtual community. I'm a mid-age, married, mother of two teens. I have also been a preschool teacher, a nanny, a reading mentor/tutor, an ESL mentor/tutor, a flight attendant, a student, a traveler, and I have volunteered for several organizations. I'm a seeker of truth and wisdom, a compassionate human, a believer, a peacemaker, a shamanic priestess and a yet unpublished writer (other than posts). I also dance just for the sheer joy of it. I hike in the woods near my home nearly every day, stopping by the stream to connect to nature and all living things, to pray, and to express gratitude. I love life and love the earth. I love the journey of life, including the disappointments and harsh realities because there is always something to learn. I love humanity, for the most part, but I find violence toward any human or any living thing or destruction of the earth to be sacrilegious. Sometimes it is hard to be hopeful, but it is essential.



My Passions:
music, books, poetry, traveling, hiking, learning, cooking, socializing, sunshine, nature, spirituality, conversation, art, kayaking, tea, candles, flowers, chocolate



My Challenges:
self confidence, making good use of my time



My Vision for the Future:
I envision a non-violent world, earth restored to balance and beauty, all people having access to land, natural food, clean water, education, and joy.



My Areas of Expertise:
friendship
