My theme for 2010 is authenticity (physical, emotional and spiritual). My most constant passion in life, it appears, is learning. I like to learn something new everyday. I strive for balance in my physical, emotional and spiritual life. I have a two year old son, a six year old dog and 38 year old husband. I love them equally (smiles). For fun, I enjoy performing as a comedian at local comedy clubs (my father is a comedian). The ODE issue on laugher (2008) was fabulous. Nutrition and Exercise are so deeply entrenched in my life that I don't even have to think about them. I am currently writing a book about the importance of maintaining balance in your life and finding your personal harmony (think body, mind and soul meets Rumi). I have a small, but successful event planning business, I plan weddings, bar mitzvahs, corporate retreats. My greatest pride today is a chariy organization I have recently founded (due in part to my recent exposure to a book called "Half the Sky" and to ODE magazine). Save Our Sisters is a non profit, women to women group - Through awareness, inspiration and compassion we promote urgent social change for women all over the world. http://www.saveoursisters.com I discovered ODE three months ago, I ordered the last two years past issues and I can NOT imagine what I'll do when I'm caught up.
