Sister's Journey to Being Multi-Talented. Check it out. That's what I've been doing with my life after all. Never quite had a the job description right but there it is. Helping the sisters to believe in themselves, to realize how important their input is in making a better world. Then bim, bam, zip, zap and your talents are on their way to becoming heroic.

Someday I will have more time to write about politics! As for my quick note right now, I'm scared for the country that our children and their children will try to grow up, the poor people in this country have always had it rough. But now the country that I want to contribute to as a teacher and an artist is so far out of line it is very scary.

The Mixed-Bag Renegade Gorilla, Art and Good Deed Blog

I am a wildly passionate mixed old bag. I wear many hats and I walk in all kinds of shoes, including no shoes. I come from a long line of pioneer ancestors to whom I owe my tremendous spirit of curiosity, adventure and creativity. Neither getting into the rat race nor staying in a rut has ever been in my nature. I have lived as a surburban housewife, a single mother/grandmother, an excentric artist, a barefoot sea explorer, an inter-racial counselor and diplomat for the UN and the Peace Corps, an advocate for imigratant rights, a mentor for single creative entrapraneur mothers, and most of all a student of starting life all over again in strange situations.

Random Thoughts of A Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Artist.

A woman on a big exciting mission: To help heal the world by working with others to educate ourselves and each other and to promote higher & healthier levels of understanding and action. Education then needs to be followed by creative-rethinking of everything we learned in school; and upgrade our meditation and actions. My personal focus is on down-sizing, going raw, organic, slow and small; reducing waste and increasing artistic self-expression. We live in a very addicted world, our life-styles and personalities are not built on factors that make us healthy, wealthy and wise in the deeper meaning of those words, but are built on community and global addictions. It's about power and control; a fear and greed based insensitive, vengeful attitude starting from the top that is contageous and it underlies the messy, bloody, dirty side of the world we live in. Huh? Horrors that I should say such things! But you know it's true.

am involved in urban-homesteading & living lean, green & simple with people of all races, religions and "classes". I have been organic, pro-active, holistic, and back to basics since the mid 1970's and very spent 20 years of my life living and working as the only white person in obscure villages of the West Indies and 10 years as a misfit back in my own USA. I know the pain of rejection from people of other cultures as well as from people of my own culture. I know the love of healthy acceptance too. I have the wounds to remind myself and others to keep on searching, learning, and practicing better ways each and every day to help others to do the same.
