i am somewhat left of center. I am the oldest of three children and the mother 4, (2 surviving) and the grandmother of 6. I am single. I am pretty much private, yet thrive on LOVE (energetic and emotional) LAUGHTER AND LIGHT. I also love a good party--good music, good people; but those are very few and far between for me. I'm not really much of a blogger. I embrace a non traditional religion-- I am a Buddhist (Nichiren Shoshu -- an orthodox Japanese sect) and have been for the past 30 years. It is the core my life. It has generated many changes in me that manifested so naturally that, in many cases, I didn't recognize them until they were brought to my attention. I have an eclectic work background, none of which were anything I actively or consciously wanted to do. Today I am a CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant. I am not medically skilled,qualified or certified. I plan to upgrade my skills this year. I do personal home care for the elderly. I primarily provide housekeeping and companionship. It surprisingly activates an intrinsic sense of gratification, satisfaction and humility. As I look backwards, I see a reason for most of my experiences,both personal and professional. In many cases, I've been unconsciously touched or have unconsciously touched others in small ways. As such, I have somehow come to see myself as a conduit -- a pass through for others AND myself to the beginning of some seed of personal change.

Interests:

I have a passion for color. Each one is an an aspect of the living energy known as light, and each one has its own significant effect on us, whether we consciously sense it or not. Each room in my small home is a different color. As a child I wanted to be a writer. My dad was studying journalism until my arrival. He let it go in order to do what he needed to do raise a family. However, he left his mark on me. I have not yet found the confidence to actually write. But I decided to speak whatever pressing thought I might have to an appropriate individual. I have been very active in my community on multiple levels; but,for the past 4+ years, I have stepped well into the background.
