I am a woman who has done many things and has yet many things to do. I feel that I have lived four lifetimes in this one life; it’s already been an extremely full life.
I have spent over twenty years in technical theatre and worked with thousands of companies and performers. I am still doing this.
I want to heal from my past and improve my future.
I want to live a better life, one that we can actually live, rather than only trying survive from one moment to the next. I think that it would be refreshing.
I want to learn to play the cello.
I want to learn to be a potter, working with clay and creating beautiful, functional art that comes from the earth.
There is always so much to learn, and I never know how I'll ever have enough time for it all.
Real and straight-forward people give me hope that one day we might just manage to pull out of this horrific nosedive we've all taken.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
As a start, public transportation would be free, functional bicycles would be given to everyone, and all the useless lawns would be turned into organic gardens, so that everyone could have a safe and reliable food supply. Housing would be made affordable and available to all, and everyone would be able to make an actual living wage, doing what they love to do, and using their strengths and interests to further the growth and stability of everyone's lives. Health care and education would be available to everyone. Trees would be planted. There are many things that I would like to do, that I believe are important, and those thoughts are far too involved for one small box of type.
What/who changed my life and why
Every day we are changed by everyone and everything around us. That is part of life. Life has been full, thus far, and I do not know how I would find only one moment that changed everything for me. Life is full of constant change.
Have A Happy Mother's Day! Where have you been? I see that you have been signing petitions. That's great. Now try talking to your friends sometime soon. I miss you.
