And now for a bit of fun ... 

In 1958, my family moved to Tasmania. One year later, I wandered off and was lost in the wild lands of one of the Southern Counties of the NorthEast Kingdom. A kindly woman found me but was unable to leave her home to help me find my family. Ida raised me there and together with the love and support of the villagers in NEK, I flourished. 

 At 18, I went on a Vision Quest and was able to reunite with my birth family - a joyous time for all of us.  

I return to visit Ida and the rest of the citizens of the NEK often. 

Or perhaps, I was born in a little town in Pennsylvania in 1956, and live about 5 minutes away from my hometown with my husband. My kids are grown ups! Here’s my best bud:

I live in Glenside, PA - just outside of Philadelphia. I teach locally and in my 3rd floor studio
