She enjoys being active outdoors, especially on her bike or being in, on, and around water. She cherishes the time with her grandchildren, including their ability to be fully present and immersed in whatever catches their fancy. She believes peace in this world begins with each person connecting to their inner voice for guidance and living a life of kindness and compassion.
