I am an essayist, memoirist and photographer based in Upstate New York.

I also lead workshops through my business, found at http://OfTheEssenceHolisticWellness.com .

My approach to almost everything is eclectic. I delight in making connections between people and things that don’t seem connected.

Posts are published on a slightly erratic schedule because my inner A+ student is learning gentleness and flexibility, and how not to care so much if a piece needs more rising time.  We both invite you to “follow” my blog.

As part of the journey of living in the moment, I spend my days thinking and writing; cooking for myself and others; community gardening; practicing yoga; hiking; teaching; and exploring this community and region.
