Everything I do, I try to do with kindness and grace. I take great pride in the work I do in my immediate community to fight food insecurity. Last year I started gardening as a mediation practice and I am thrilled to have grown edible vegetable two seasons in a row now. I have two wonderful little lapdogs who love my garden boxes almost as much as I do. Recently, I have returned to crochet, reading novels and non-fiction, and long form writing as a way to spend more time away from screens. My current favorite place to be is my local library or on the beach looking for interesting shells.
