For the past 57 years I have been an explorer, inventor, mentor, daughter, wife, mother, and friend.  This sequence from self to the world profoundly challenges and excites my discoveries and continues to enhance my relationships. 

Play has been at the heart of  awakening my child within and sustaining the adult I have become.  Play has given me spaces to breathe; to sit awhile and be amazed.
