About Me
I am graduating from DePaul University in June 2009...Whoo Hoo...I returned to college in my 50's for a long awaited undergraduate degree.
I love writing, words and journaling...I believe the Platonic Socrates who insists the Unexamined Life is not worth living.

journeyI believe life is a journey and I believe travel opens the soul and the mind to adventure, risk and creative compassion.
Least Favorite Word:
