Profile Information
- What are the main areas of Sustainability you are interested in
- What a deep and wide question...I am interested in it all, especially the 'ability' part. How can we enable ourselves to think differently and creatively about our contribution to the 'great work' of our time?
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- I grew up on an apple orchard in Washington State. We had a cat that was found up a tree. I cleverly named her 'Cutie'. My brother didn't like that decision.
I love the mystery, the world...all its variations of people, sights, sounds, smells. I love that feeling of connection and awe. I love blueberries and candle light and people that make me laugh. I love watching people do what they love...and the deep wrinkles of a well lived face.
I am thankful for my community, near and far, that make me who I am.

What does sustainable economics mean and might it have anything to do with 'sacred economics'? Read this recent article posted by Charles Eisenstein on Reality Sandwich and engage in the discussion.
