Lately I have spent a lot of time feeling grateful for the people in my life. So many encouraged me when I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue a new career. I am going into the non-profit . . . more

Describe Yourself:
Crusader, woman, mother, artist, writer, friend, community activist, concerned about bio-diversity and sustainability, crazy about kids and greater humanity, think people are fascinating and good, love trees and the serenity I feel in nature. What breaks my heart? Domestic violence, child abuse, exploitation of women and children around the world, meanness and cruelty, intolerance, racism, bigotry, misogyny, violence, abuse of chemicals in our environment and bodies, evil and the unnecessary hoarding of resources.

On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:
At first it was just validation for my writing efforts... but now I love to give it too! And although I never thought it would happen to me... after all who gets into social networks who has a real life I told myself... I really care about my Gather friends.
I feel like I have found the modern equivalent of pen pals. We can be genuine with each other and bare it all emotionally, spiritually or whatever moves us that day. If we create fantasy, people show interest in our imaginations. This is SO rare in life.
The feedback is mostly positive (how often can we depend on that in our non-Gather lives?) and when it isn't? Defenders come to the fore and show us that we are never really isolated or alone on this site. Great group of Gatherers.
