Birthday April 12, 1949  
Languages English, French, Spanish  
About Me Absolutely high on life itself. I have lived a little bit like a hermit since 9/11 and became an "inter-naut." I live on beautiful Sunshine Coast in British-Columbia. I want to have an impact on world peace, and I believe we all have some potential for compassion. I wish to see world peace before I go, but things are always what they should be, so I try to relax in this thought.
I fuss a lot over my cats.
I believe that life is an unceasing learning experience, and I would love to travel to other countries to help with whatever I can do.
