About Me

My photo
Grandmother Mary
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
As an ancestor in training I'm staying active and alert in this my middle decade of old age. In my first decade I retired and moved to Antigua and Italy to have adventures in other cultures. Traveling around the Caribbean and Europe for nine years grew me out of my too- small self and gave me a bigger world view and my place in it. That was quite an education. I'm married to my best friend and main squeeze for 44 years and have a daughter who's saving the rain forest together with her husband. Through her two children's tutelage I'm learning how to grandmother. It's a work in progress demanding fierce love, scoops of creativity as well as considerable fun along the way. I love my life.

Keep in Touch

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
Garrison Keilor

An Irish Proverb

It is in the shelter of each other that people live.

A Gaeltacht Rousseau

Let her be, said the poet;
do not chastise her,
she is still a stripling
and fear is a sickness
that stunts all human growth.

Let her be, said the poet;
do not chastise her,
let her grow unimpeded
to whatever height she is meant for:
the air is still soft above her head.
- Sean O Tuama

Show up & Show Your Soul

We are needed, that is all we can know. …One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to show up and show your soul….To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these- to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. (Clarissa Pinkola Estes)
