Hi. I'm here because I've always been quiet, thoughtful and analytical. Conventional wisdom does not work for me. I like to look below the surface and see what is deep inside people. I do not feel entitled or even motivated to tell you whether you are right or wrong or what you should or shouldn't do. I want to know how you came to think and feel the way you do and help you work through your unique mental/emotional/spiritual jungle. Much of the time, if we can press ourselves about what we are thinking and feeling to another person we can find our own way out. I am trained as a registered nurse, have had experience working in the emergency room in a low income area of a major US city, volunteering at a free clinic, homeless shelter and several years caring for the dying and their families. I have renovated/restored historic homes and vintage RV's. I like to create custom interior decor. I ran a dog rescue organization with a prison training program for 10 years. Recently, I've become very sensitive to humane issues related to food production.
