: About Me

I have lived in Midwest all my life, and in Kansas City since 1978. Traveling is very important to me. I teach yoga and own a yoga studio here. I was able to practice and study yoga in India for six weeks as a Rotary International exchange student. I am married to the most precious man I have ever met. Our lives are blessed with two, fat beagles who snore and otherwise, soak up our love.

What this generation is experiencing firsthand is making history for all generations: bulging population, corresponding waste production, climate changes from a wider variety of polluting sources, rising temperatures, and the melting of the poles. The very existence of many species of plants and animals rocks in foreboding balance. Survival will be uncertain for much of life as we know it if these dramatic issues are not swiftly and creatively addressed. Our current wor...
