• Once, while in Washington, D.C. at one of the Smithsonian Institution museums, I was so taken by a piece that I touched it without thinking… and the alarm went off in the place! What can I say? Of course, I then walked quickly to another room...
• Last fall, I just wanted to feel the rain on a day when rain was falling very lightly. It’s so good to just walk without an umbrella sometimes, just because…
• I really enjoy walking a lot. I walk for exercise, yes, but also to experience nature and observe, and to breathe it all in through my eyes, my ears—all of my senses, really—and in particular, my sense of wonder. I am inspired by nature and I frequently write about it.
• I think that true friends are forever, and I cherish the friendships that I have had for a long time. New friends are great to add, too, so life does not become stagnant.
• On a recent trip to the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, I saw what I thought was a tiny, 3” plastic orange lizard. I blew on it, thinking it would tip over, being plastic. Instead, it moved, and began to walk away. Ha!...It was an actual salamander! I had never seen one live in the outdoors like that before.
• I really get a kick out of laughing when something strikes me funny, and I am never at a loss for times when I laugh at myself.
• I’ve marched for issues in which I’ve believed: Affordable housing, Peace, to name a couple of things. But even more, I have written articles and letters to the editor, to convey my thoughts even further. And, in some of my recent work, I’ve assisted in creating conferences that address solutions to some of the issues.
• I attend church in Clintonville. Faith and prayer are very important to me. I am not overbearing with religion, though. I honor each person’s right to believe what they need to believe along his or her journey through life. Faith and prayerfulness are important parts of who I am.
