near the ocean. I am a native

personal development, and lifelong learning.
I enjoy music (playing instruments), painting, drawing, photography, gardening,
yoga, pilates, dance (ballet, Latin, classical), Tai Chi, travel, open course
ware, meditation, volunteering, choir, interfaith ministry, reading, information
