Rousseau, Martin Luther, Anne Boleyn, people who live today in oppressive societies and fight back, people who contribute their time and talents to help others and expect nothing in return.
My superpower is: creepy, incredible intuition
If I could live anywhere, it would be: Paris or South of France, Australia or the Greek Islands
My dream job(s): Costume Director, Editor for a great publishing company, curator, textile designer, a job where I could travel work and see the area.
What else you should know about me: I try to see other points of view. I believe that our world is in grave danger. I have 2 dogs, Ralph and Leo2, 2 grandchildren. I love to travel and wish I could afford to see more of the word. I don't believe that the great religions have followed their noble beginnings but rather become instruments of war and death and judgement instead of peace, life and tolerance.
It rains 180 days a year where I live, probably more. I miss my home. I am a compulsive reader and can finish a 800 page book in about 6-8 hours.
