I am a retired teacher and grandmother looking forward to the next 30 or more years with great relish and enthusiasm. My passions are writing and running. I have been pursuing both for over 30 years and see both as avenues to self-knowledge and balance. Writing allows me to be a child once more--on her first day at school.
