August 2023: Currently in Eagan, MN, USA. Just returned from 2months in SE Asia, and 3 weeks in Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Gulf Coast of Florida. In just a couple of weeks I’ll be headed out to the PNW to get a puppy and see many friends. Then I’ll be headed back to Minnesota, likely for the next year.

I write the Newsletter for The Anastasia Foundation! Please sign up to receive it, it’s really great. =)

Please, “come as you are”, and I will come as I am too. We’ll meet and go from there. 💜🌻

I would call myself an explorer and wonder-er (not wanderer=), at heart. I find the most exciting place to explore is actually the vast expanse of my inner world. It’s unlimited, unconditional, it never lies and I can always go there for a trusted place to laugh, cry, seek solace or wisdom or hang out with some great company (because I find myself pretty entertaining).

I find that what shows up to explore in my outer world (or on the pages of my storybook) can have me running the gamut of emotions but I enjoy meeting this head on and I’ve observed my typical approach to any day or situation being to observe, wonder and work towards always responding with my best… and then I do a pretty good job getting back to awe.

In other words I LOVE to be alone yet I also enjoy the deep companionship of others.

~I’ve been called a deep thinker and an enchanting conversationalist (when inspiration hits, otherwise I can be pretty silent). I don’t necessarily have favorite topics as much as favorites ways of conversing – supporting a conversation, be it movies to economics or even just silence is an art that I’m learning. But I love wondering why I do what I do.

~I love to play, and have an unencumbered silly side.
~I’m always seeking to understand and help others to understand what they want as well.

~My aim is co-creation and joy from its contemplation. Pretty simple but requires flexibility, agility, and big open eyes 👀 because in joy there is meaning and that can look an unfathomable number of different ways.
