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.

Oh, delightful! I hope you get lots more pics. We have deer in our yard too, in fact, this year we have TRIPLETS!

THREE-bies! This little guy near our creek was at the gamboling stage, leaping straight up in the air just because he could, then looking at Mom to see if it was cool.
Read through some things and connected your real name with your sobriquet. Ah ha! We do have a lot in common.
Ever want some help on the West Coast if you offer a seminar? I was part of an Institute in Portland, OR (my home town, also!) for twenty or so years, the Intercultural Institute. Fine fine program.
Take good care. You're prob. the only folks not in a heatwave?
