I have worked as a mental health counselor and a psychology professor. I am partly retired now. I spend time making music with friends and learning new things. I work out at the gym. And I love to read. I live with my little dog and my husband. I live in a small town in Kansas. I grew up in a small town in Nebraska. I have 6 brothers and sisters and 25 nieces and nephews. When I was a child, our household was filled with music, because our parents wanted us to sing and play together. I was a teenager in the 1960s, during the Civil Rights movement in the US. I believe in power to the people.
