Background 

 


By AARP's definition, I'm a senior citizen (yeah, right!).   Morning person. 

Native Southerner who adores the Appalachian mountains.  I think in a previous life I must've been a tree.

Credentials:  Master's degree in Psychology (Indiana University); Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Emory University)--which means that I just can't decide what I want to do when I grow up.  Most of my adult life I've worked in a college environment.  Recently, I've found myself really interested in graphic design.

Travel:  Have lived in Georgia, Indiana, and Texas, traveled over most of the North American continent, and spent time in Mexico and Bolivia. I like being spontaneous when going some place--like stopping by the side of the road to smell sweet clover in Nebraska or visiting the stockyards in Oklahoma City. 


Philosophy of Life

I believe that God is present in every moment of our lives and that we are blessed beyond measure when we seek the leading of the Spirit.  If I had to summarize the purpose of my life on this planet, it is "to delight the heart of God."  I think I do this most when I am grateful--for friends, for meaningful work, and for beauty all around me in the flowers, sky, and stars.  I think I also delight God's heart when I do loving things for others.

My value system is best summed up in the tune, Simple Gifts.

 
Favorite Things

Carolina wrens, public television, cool weather, wildflowers, sunrise, Irish music, mountain streams, wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes, Boston, Hershey's chocolates, and my tender-hearted son.  A poem whose glorious imagery particularly touches me is Spender's I Think Continually of Those.
