Another enthusiastic RareBird

Friends and family would describe me as one with a large and open heart. I would say I have an innate capacity for an ever-expanding circle of loved ones. No surprise then that I, along with my husband, would be enthusiastically embracing the idea of intentional community living. I was not raised in a large family but rather inherited one over time and it has created a rich weave to the tapestry of my life thus far.

I am no stranger to grief, having lost very significant family members in the recent past including a son. It has made me stronger and more resilient but also keenly aware of capturing every moment of life, savoring each and every day.

I love to chat, exploring ideas and am what is often called an ‘activator’ - a change agent. People know me as one who enjoys an assertive, enthusiastic attempt to ignite others to causes I deeply uphold.

My cherished values center on love, health, generosity, gratitude, justice and social equality. My world would be empty and without purpose if not for relationships with friends and family! I share a love of dogs with several of our RareBirds. I attempt to walk softly on Mother Earth and hold a deep respect for the plants and animal life on our planet.

A favorite pastime is cooking with healthy natural, organic food. I enjoy sharing recipes, cooking tips and family-style meals. I value yoga and the way this discipline has made me more flexible –both in body and mind. One of my current goals is to meditate regularly. I love nature – hiking, walking and kayaking. I adore the sunshine and although I prefer warmth and summer breezes, I do love the sight of sun glistening on freshly fallen snow.

I am strongly committed to the idea of co-operative intentional community living amongst a group of like-minded individuals. Together our goal is to live more sustainable lives using fewer resources, incorporating a greener and more self-sufficient way of life in a socially supportive and spiritually fulfilling environment. In this way we hope to co-create meaningful life together and serve as model in our community for a new, innovative design for living.
