Where I'm Finding Inspiration

I find inspiration in conversation with others about how we can create a more just world and build community that looks out for one another -- the future we envision and do not yet have.

What I Do For Fun, Rest, and Renewal

I enjoy being active with friends paddling on local lakes, cross country skiing and taking classes at the YWCA. I love to knit, read and travel to visit lifelong friends.
