List two pet peeves

1. People who over promise and under deliver. 2. Low-talkers

 

Tell us something surprising about yourself.

In my 25-year stint as a newspaper journalist, I met every sitting president and presidential candidate between Pres. Reagan and Obama, including Hillary Clinton and excluding Donald Trump.

"Life is long." For me, this phrase means that any circumstance, situation or relationship that seems impenetrable, immovable, rigid or permanent probably isn't over the long haul.  

 

What movie or novel character do you most identify with and why?

Lisbeth Salander, fictional character created by Swedish author Stieg Larsson. She is my alter ego, but only a few people have seen her.

1. To walk the Camino de Santiago alone, in the autumn. 2. To live six months in a rural, Spanish-speaking community and become fluent in the language. 3. To sing in a gospel choir. 

 

What is your favorite style of yoga to teach? To practice? Yin Yoga.

 

What is the coolest place you’ve ever visited?

Hard to choose. Teotihuacan Pyramids outside of Mexico City, Hong Kong, Esalen Insistute in Big Sur. All magic.

 

What’s your favorite song to sing at Karaoke night?

What else? Delta Dawn.
