Well who the fuck am I? Why should anyone care? Oh, by the way, I have a bit of a habit of letting curse words slip on occasion, but one of the topics I think most about is spirituality. I have an acceptance of a power underlying the Universe; I often call that Power ‘God’ because it’s an easy-enough term and most people get what I mean. But some people think that means I also subscribe to a lot of human-originated ideas about things like propriety and gender roles, and … mmm, not so much.

Right. On with the witty bio: I’m a grown-ass woman. I’m a mother of adult sons. I’m a financial analyst. I walk through the world with the privileges of being white and American and socio-economically middle-class. I am of Scandinavian and German descent - my family has been in the US for three or four generations and I know some of the reasons they chose to leave those places and some of the story of how their lives went as they did. I am a Libra, and whether I (or you) believe in the astrological arts, the fact remains that the descriptions of fair-minded, social, idealistic, non-confrontational, romantic, indecisive, somewhat self-absorbed, but ultimately charming af, fit Libras, and me, quite well. I love to travel and see and experience new places. I love live music of many genres.

I plan to share here about things like research of my ancestry. My own life adventures now that my kids are grown. How I might age without becoming grumpy and closed off. Spiritual thoughts about all these things…. Who knows what else. Life has a funny way of surprising me.
