Our lives are important.

A bit about me:

I’m usually mild mannered, optimistic, sometimes quirky, and oddly literal.
I’m open-hearted, warm, and kind. When I commit to something, I give it my all, be it in business, volunteer work, or relationships.

I’m eternally curious about other people’s lived experience, accepting and welcoming of differences.
As a 5th generation SF native, I was fortunate to be part of a multi-racial / multicultural family with relatives across the economic spectrum. 🌺

Passions?

1) Relaxed Swimming- I fell in love w swimming when I lived in Hilo, Hawai’i for nearly a decade. There I swam almost daily in Hilo Bay.
On the mainland, I now use pools but still love gliding through the water.

2) Walking in the Redwoods- No need to say more. If you know, you know.

3) Continuous Learning- Even as a child, I’d research topics of interest. I became the medical researcher for my family, and since I retired from business in ‘23, I’ve been trying to learn a bit of microbiology so I can research what is known about rare muscle wasting diseases. 🌺

Among my top Values in a relationship are:
- Honesty
- Conscious Action
- Loyalty 🌺

I believe we are intricately connected to all things in ways we might not immediately recognize.
Thus, I treat all things, including people and our earth, with deep respect.

I also recognize that we are each simultaneously fully divine and fully human; both complex and simple beings.
It's with this understanding I view relationships as vehicles for growth and spiritual development, along with the bonus ability to fold the laundry.

Being conscious is not just a state of mind, it’s a way of moving through life, which I do with gratiitude and gentle joy. 🌺

The physical body is finite, so I continue to treat mine well.
No matter where I am, I work with my my trainer virtually, and eat healthy organic food,

Alas, I also continue to resist my addiction to cheap chocolate, so don’t let me near M&M w peanuts :) 🌺

If there’s anything else you’d like to know about me, just ask.
Definitely ask me about inclusion body myositis. 🌺
