I would probably self-identify as a female rural West Coast (of USA) Caucasian, but that wouldn't include, as labels often don't, my journey from a small monocultural mill town to a solo sabbatical in six countries (in '91). Now I'm on to the exciting sojourn of retirement (from full-time worklife five years ago). I love travel and art and aesthetics, as well as almost all cats and dogs I've met. This blog is just for fun and experimenting with the tools. It should be amusing...

~I've just retired from 30 years in CA public education (25+ in both international and domestic programs), where I learned a whole lot from diverse experiences & loved my students dearly. I've been a community college counselor, and an instructor, but have taught from university to pre-K. I owe much to my intercultural training, and a generous and eclectic number of mentors/mentees. I enjoy facilitating classes, leading workshops, and being alive to help with creating a sane world. Best of all, I love to network with other interesting folks on a broad number of useful topics. I'm blessed to live in the rural mountainous woods a bit off I-5 w/family and an extended o'hana. I have travelled in SE Asia, Australia, Japan, Europe, Canada, Mexico, & Guatemala, so far.

Hi Kathi,
I just found your blog. I hope you keep up the experiment. You have a lovely writing voice - I can feel a whole person within the few paragraphs I've read, which is a lovely skill, and a gift to your readers. I'm going to subscribe to your blog. I hope to learn more about you.
Best wishes,

Best wishes back to you! That's the most delightful compliment I've heard in, oh, decades! Thanks very much!
Are you the Jerry of 'hair in the melting pot'? I forwarded that widely to my interculturalist colleagues.
My father-in-law's in an assisted living place nearby, and I'm going to forward your blog to the administrators so maybe some of the folks there will get involved, too. Ain't the Internet wonderful?
=)
Cheers, ~Kathi

Kathi, you are doing a great job of promotion. I just found your blog too, via a comment on mine. Thanks for stopping by. I love the way your creativity sort of sploshes around on your blog from the unusual name down through all the posts. It lives up to the promise of being amusing.

Wow, Ritergal, you experts are making me blush! What fun to know I'm giving some chuckles, etc. I plan to follow your blog, too, esp. when I figure out how to make "bloglist" work for me!
Cheers, ~Kathi
