The image to the right is the "Crone." She is a woman of wisdom, having lived long enough to know a thing or two. She also knows there is still much more to know. In the goddess group I belong to, I consider myself the Crone. I wear the name with honor as I have enjoyed getting older. Like Maya Angelou, looking back, I wouldn't do it differently. Who knows what might have happened? I'm grateful for all the opportunities I've had and all that lay before me. Remember: Learn all you can!

Peace

Welcome! You have arrived at the Center...the Center of my world. It's taken me a number of decades to find the Center, but like all things, everything in its own time. It is surprising to find that there is a lot of room in the Center. A number of people reside here. For example, along with me there is my husband, Frank. He's a writer, a sentimental fool, and one of those good guys that we think are few and far between. Also there is my daughter (Anna) and my grandson (Bryshawn) and my granddaughter (Sakura). They remind me that life is not what we expect, however, it definitely is challenging, rewarding, unpredictable and amazing. Still others reside in the Center. My family and good friends are there. They inspire me, protect me, love me, and honor me with their generosity.

Currently, the Center keeps me busy with work as a photographer, haikuist, painter, college administrator, living and dying and everything in between.

Additionally, the Center supports me in achieving my Ph.D. It is still a long way away, but I'm determined and patient. I'll get there sooner or later.
