I have been practicing Witchcraft since 2002. I follow an eclectic Wiccan path, and am constantly studying and growing, both in purely personal study as well as structured study. I have studied with WitchSchool, CUEW, Sisterhood of the Silver Branch, and Seasons in Avalon.
I'm lazy. I love sitting around and shooting the breeze more than just about anything. I also like to be surrounded by beauty, and beauty takes work. There's the rub. So I find little ways of tricking myself into being motivated to make my surroundings beautiful. Sometimes it's watching HGTV, sometimes it's surfing the web, sometimes it's taking a walk around my neighborhood, and sometimes it's inviting someone over for dinner that gets me off the couch to clean my house!
I have a passion for holistic healing and living as sustainably as I can given where I live and my budget. I'm not perfect about it, but I do my best.
My amazing son Luke is 17. He is a math whiz, loves science, writing poetry and short stories, computers, and online gaming. You would think with his interests he'd be holed up in a basement somewhere by himself, but the opposite is the truth. He is an incredibly social, multi-talented, brilliant, interesting, funny, and fun person to be around.
Rick is my love. He is a professional drummer of more than 30 years, has two adult children, Nikki & Marshall, plays with Wylie & the Wild West, Son Dulce (Salsa!), and the Exploding Fifis. He loves politics, history and salsa dancing.

I also take care of my grandfather, who has Alzheimer's. I became his legal guardian when it was apparent he could no longer care for himself properly, and moved him from his condo in Portland, Oregon to a very nice Alzheimer's care center here in Spokane. It hasn't been easy, especially since I had only seen him a handful of times in my life, but it has been one of the most worthwhile and spiritually rewarding things I have ever done.
