Welcome to my website!  I write about the healing and uplifting impact of connecting with one’s rich, inner world.

 

Besides being a truth seeker, I am a mother, sister, student of Yoga and Zen, and an aspiring Muay Thai kickboxer.  I’ve been sober since I was 32 when I embraced the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous about 38 years ago.  I’ve been out as a lesbian since my mid-twenties, and due to the blessing of gay marriage, I am now the wife of Jill Anne Devine.   

 

In recent years, when my older sister had to confront a deadly cancer, I turned inward for courage, and began to understand that the inner world is real.  Whatever it is in there that is aware, it’s not nothing:  It’s being.  It’s me.  It’s you.
