Who am I?

Good question. I am a fifty something year old woman who lives in the midwest. I was raised a Navy brat with all the bells and whistles.

My parents were divorced, but I actually had a pretty good childhood. I was raised to be polite and generous. I was extremely lucky in having parents, though from fairly strict Baptist backgrounds, encouraged me to find my own way. The result being I went to every Protestant church my friends did, also Catholic, Jewish and Buddhist.

In the end I opted for Buddhist. Not for religious reasons, but because being Buddhist is a way of life. You don’t live Catholic, Jewish, Baptist, Muslim, or Methodist. You live Buddhism, cause it’s an aspiration, not a faith. Buddhism teaches that we can all be Buddha, because we are all One.

It’s not about being right or wrong. It’s about peace.

It’s not about you and me. It’s about us.

It’s not about religion. It’s about being.

We are ONE. This is truth in it’s simplest form.

This is Not a website for any kind of religious or philosophic propaganda this is just a page to tell you who I am and why I am. I got lucky. I have had my share of pain and heartache.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give my life a 20.
