For as long as I can remember, I have loved playing in the out doors -- from a childhood in Concord, Massachusetts, to Connecticut and now in Montana. I've always been curious about the natural world even while I was raising a family, running a bed and breakfast in Annapolis, Maryland, and making my move to Montana in 2005. When I'm not playing outside, reading, writing poems and stories, and dancing keep me occupied. Lately, I've been fortunate to be able to travel to far flung places. Ireland remains a favorite. Some day I hope to get in some fly fishing there as well as explore more of the country than I've seen during workshops including writing and delving into Celtic Consciousness. And I will always hold my husband Dan in my heart as my favorite travel companion.
