who
am I?
The word
that best summarizes my first fifty years is creativity. I created art, music,
poetry, an occasional relationship, and as much
kindness as I could muster because I've been
given so much. Despite my sparse social life, I
love people. I love our resilience, our promise,
our innate kindness, and the fact that no matter
how many times we get it wrong, we keep trying
to get it right. We hold on and survive. There
is a lot to be said for surviving, especially if
you happen to run into your passion along the
way.
This is not a standard bio. My accomplishments
in the grand scheme would not generate much text,
but I am not my accomplishments. I am a person
who struggles to live and learn, and I laugh.
Actually, I laugh quite a bit. My
legacy is the list of un-extraordinary things
I’ve done and an even longer list of those I
intend to do. I am a woman who discovered that the
first half century was preparation for the real work, or more accurately, the
real joy. I am a storyteller with many stories
to tell, and I have begun.
