| Interests | I adore food, wine and the process of coming together over the two. Travel. Wine. Affairs of the heart. Time for self-reflection. What else can I add? Sailing, adventuring, looking up through redwood tress toward the sky, searching for four leaf clovers, walking quiet beaches, collecting sand dollars (:-)), visualizations, sitting in my garden in the evening talking to the plants on the ground and Venus in the sky, trying to be a better person and be more in the moment, meditation (a life long interest - I'm always a novice), mountains - particularly the Alps and the Himalayas, the Tibetan culture, Venice, sunrises, watching Flamenco dancing and listening to really authentic Flamenco music, photography, and on and on... |
