| Introduction | In our sixties, with apparently no other authentic option, my husband Don and I sold our car and apartment, sold or gave away all our stuff, and set off to discover the world. And ourselves. We started in Italy in 2011 and from there have travelled to Spain, India, Bali, etc. - you can see the blog archive. We will continue travelling until it's time to stop - if that time ever comes. So far it suits us very well. We are interested in how the world works, how life works, how the creation of experience works, how the mind works. As we travel and both "choose" our course, and at the same time just let it unfold, we discover the "mechanics" of life, the astounding creativity of life, and a continual need to return to trust and presence. Opening the heart, and acceptance of what is, as it is, are keystones for us both. |
| Interests | In no particular order: travel, figure skating (as a fan), acceptance, authenticity, walking/hiking, joy, creativity, being human, adventure, presence, NOW. |
| Favorite Movies | Too many to name. When it comes to movies I am completely shallow. Don't scare me please :) |
| Favorite Music | We love peaceful music but hardly ever listen to it. I guess we love silence more. |
| Favorite Books | Too many to name, plus I forget the titles/authors as soon as I've read them. Like movies, when it comes to books I'm completely shallow. Light and easy, no violence or harrowing suffering. Don't need to read/fill my mind with that to know it exists. Having said that we both *loved* all the Harry Potter books and read the entire series out loud to each other. |
