In my efforts to make life extra-ordinary, I "live deliberately" with brio, gusto, and a "pay it forward" approach. World travel is one of my great joys. I am a Francophile, have lived in France, and speak fluent French. Ooh la la. My hiking boots are covered in mud from 4 continents. I'm captivated by dance, art, music, and theater. Liberal issues matter to me, and therefore I pay attention to politics. Jon Stewart in '08! I'm in the midst of an enlightening "reJEWvenation", exploring my spirituality and Jewish identity. I adore my family and my friends, and am a total pet person (the furry four-legged feline & Fido forms).
