Learned to ski, got SCUBA certified, divorced, started practicing yoga, became a sea kayaking guide. Lived on a ranch near Tassajara Zen Center. Enjoyed Big Sur Harvest Parties. Winter, 1974 in La Paz Mexico, home schooled my 6-year old daughter while living aboard 26ft wooden boat. Survived hard times, snuck in the back door to AFI film school. Studied yoga with Mr Iyengar in Pune, India. Traveled thru India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore for 6 months. At age 55 went back to school for an MA in Digital Design and Production/ Internet Technology, working as aTeaching Assistant. Can make my Mac sing and dance! I am an intrepid, seasoned traveler, love rafting, sailing, kayaking and swimming in warm oceans. I ride my Ebike to farmers markets, bookstores, thrift shops and flea markets. My life-style is low maintenance. I was a personal chef and can make an authentic pad thai. An early riser since I lived aboard that sailboat —dawn is my favorite part of the day— silent and magical.
