I love exploring the link between spirituality, science and philosophy. I enjoy baking, writing, walking, jogging, hiking, cycling, art, knitting, reading, traveling, gardening, plants, kayaking, and YOGA. I am mostly vegetarian, but not exclusively. I love ethnic foods and making new dishes. I have spent 31 years working for the Federal Government (Military, Reserves, Healthcare Administration). Life is a journey and I keep reminding myself to enjoy the ride and not take anything too seriously. Yoga is the platform I've chosen to bring myself back to remembering this. Namaste! ☮
