About

I love writing, but avoided blogging until just now.  I have often been complimented for my inventive letter writing, thought-provoking articles, and interesting poetry.  When I was a diplomatic officer, I got kudos for writing reporting cables back to Washington DC.  But I never thought a blog was something that other people would read.

But now I’m inspired by my son, Gino, so I’ll give it a shot.  Let me know what you’d like to hear from me!  I can write about my travels overseas, my philosophy of life, my spiritual practice (tantra), my adventures in the Peace Corps and the Foreign Service, my take on holistic health and healing, why I love belly dancing and qi-gong (not necessarily in that order), and all sorts of other stuff.  I’ll try to keep it short and sweet, as well as entertaining and informative.  I often think my purpose in life is to amuse and challenge.  So let’s see if I do that for you!

Thanks for reading!
