I am an artist and art teacher, mother and grandmother, have chickens for pets and I grow much of my own food or gather from local sources. I love the outdoors, I kayak and hike and have completed over 1700 miles on the AT. I bike some (not on the road). I do yoga and chant. I am working on being self sustaining but have a long way to go. I do not smoke and rather hate the thought, my TV stays unplugged 90% of the time, play board games with my grands, read a lot, hang with friends. A good life.
