Psychotherapist, Graduate Professor, Writer, Director of a non-profit

As a 58 year old single woman who is honored to be in the profession of psychotherapy I've been blessed with helping others revive their spirits and creativity. I deeply respect how precious that is in each of us. So Novica inspires me and shows me the

world's spirit. I love to learn about diverse cultures and customs--a gift passed on by my family over the years that we were a "friendship family". We were the American family men came to from Hungary, Japan, China who were trying to get ahead in life. They all became beloved brothers to me. And helped me see beauty in all faces, all lives.

My passion is service to others, nature, photography, my rescued dog, Bodhi, my spiritual practice, and all the day to day tasks and projects that fill one's life. I am dedicated to being ecologically respectful and recycle all things possible (including mine and my dogs hair for composting!) I love to swim, bike ride, play with children, Public TV and radio and world music.

What I like most about Novica:

It is fascinating to me to learn about the artisans, their passions, background and who inspired and mentored them. How wonderful to see that great gifts, talents and creativity are handed down and artists continue to honor their culture, families and their native land. It's deeply moving to me and is a mission I very much want to support.
