About

IMG_1090I’m a 50-something year old woman (oops, make that 60 now – I started this blog at age 56), whose incarnations in this life have included graphic designer, children’s book author and illustrator, public speaker, teacher, fine art painter, wine educator in the Napa Valley, and world traveler. Through current circumstances, I’ve found myself single, without a job or a home, and poised for a great adventure! You could consider me homeless and unemployed, but I prefer nomad and self-employed, as I pack up my skills and head off with my small backpack and even smaller savings to circumnavigate the globe (or at least go until the money runs out). Get ready to tag along for the ride…starting now!
