My Philosophy
fate & destiny have their place, but each individual's choices still guides the direction of what will be, so there is always room for a person to make the most sensible choice by looking at possible results of that choice.
What Gives Me Hope
every new sunrise I wake up to, every child's laughter to my ears, every teenager asking questions, every adult who is proud, strong & determined enuf to strive for fair trade, human rights, environmental conservation, those are the things that sustain me with hope
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
build a photovoltaic cell farm on land that is not arable in Utah to power the whole country's energy needs, and stop the empire strikes back war moves across the planet.
What/who changed my life and why
Helen Caldicott,for one, taught us about the ludicrous hazards in relying on the use of nuclear power and the toxic dangers awaiting us if we persist on that path. Gandhi, for another, also taught us about nonviolent ways to make a difference, and my son, because he makes me think about every choice I make and how it affects his future and the rest of the planet.

"Being a woman created by God is such a privilege- and the gift of your femininity is something you can give both to yourself and to the people around you. Just one flower, one candle, can warm up a cold, no-nonsense atmosphere with an aura of ‘I care.' Women have always had the ability to transform an environment, to make it comfortable and inviting. I believe you should rejoice in that ability and make the most of it... The spirit of femininity is so many things... It is people accepted and nurtured, loveliness embraced and shared. More important, the spirit of femininity is the spirit of care and compassion. In my mind, the most feminine woman is one with an eye and ear for others, and a heart for God."
