| Introduction | I am currently retired, more or less; mostly less right now, unfortunately. I am a jewelry artisan-designer, a creative person, a philosopher, and a writer, among other things. I have spent a major part of my life educating myself on many subjects. My primary interests are understanding human behavior and Art. I have great respect for those who are self-educated; which has been a life-long occupation of mine. In addition to educating myself, I have attended a number of schools of higher education, and have accumulated a B.A. in Human Services, and a Masters in Art Therapy, over the years. In the mid-70s and into the 80s I did a lot of writing, initially putting together a manuscript I titled: "You in the Process of Becoming; A Guide to the Self." After that, I let my writing lapse; this blog has been my re-entry into the field of writing. Currently, I also have articles published on the Self Growth website, as well as have published articles on the Ezine Articles website. |
| Interests | A major preoccupation of mine has been trying to understand human behavior. My other major interest is in various forms of personal creativity, such as various arts and crafts, as well as writing, cooking, interior decoration, etc. |
| Favorite music | I love many of the musical forms: classical, jazz, folk, ethnic, etc. |
| Favorite books | Non-fiction, metaphysical, archaeology, history, psychology, arts, etc. |
