How a Queens girl became an inner world explorer, invisible reality rover, and sacred site lover!

I have been a seeker
And I still am,
But I stopped
Asking the books and the stars.
I started listening
To the teaching
of my soul.

Rumi

Greetings to you. So happy we’ve connected!

How about a few rabbit-out-of-the-hat facts?

The first thing I ever wanted to be was a racehorse trainer.
I can live anywhere in the world, but I’ll always be a New Yorker.
Cats collect me. They find my door and bring friends.
When the blues hit, I blow soap bubbles out the window.
Am very grateful for the basics — running water, electricity, and my bed.
Skies uplift me. Trees open my heart.
I love tea, Ritz crackers, and a bit of telly as an evening wind-down.

What? More fact-type stuff? Wow, OK.

My life began in an ordinary, lower-middle-class New York family: a pesky brother, an uber-controlling, demeaning mom, and an out-of-touch dad. Yeah, took me several years to work through the imprint it left in me. But it was, in the end, a great launchpad.
