What brings you joy? – Raising and spending time with my teenagers who are growing into young adults with strong opinions and amazing gifts and interests. They make me laugh and I love going on adventures with them. Dancing to music that stirs my soul. My body loves movement and dancing gives me a sense of freedom. Hiking awakens my soul to nature's beauty and reminds me that I am not alone.
