I write to share the fruits of my 40+ year career in nonprofit philanthropy, my love of family and everyone I'm sharing this precious time on Earth with, and my love of poetry. I have ten grandchildren (so far), and have had the great fun and joy of writing a book with two of them (so far). It's the most recent, titled, "Give Until It Feels Good! -- Savvy Giving for Zoomers." It's my way of sharing some of my professional knowledge and my love of writing at the same time with them and other Gen Z'ers. My poetry celebrates places I've lived and the spiritual path I'm walking. I love language and wordplay. I guess I'm old-fashioned and out of step with our time, because I just can't help myself -- I dare to rhyme!
