I am an author and an attorney retired from practicing law.
I value living joyfully, intentionally and consciously, accepting the challenges and risks necessary for my growth.
I believe in synchronicity.
I try to live wisely, dance to release excess energy, face my fears and have fun.
I try to make it a practice to walk the talk – not always easy.
Framing a Life: Building the Space To Be Me
This remarkable memoir- one of the deepest I’ve ever read- is my kind of revelation. The book made me cry out, cover my eyes, mourn, and beam with pride and appreciate the trials that led to my own emotional and spiritual growth. Roberta Kuriloff’s story will find a place alongside Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” and Amy Chua’s, “Tiger Mother.” Permeated with humility, bravery, and a bold feminist intersection, “Framing a Life,” is a triumph for many of us with both hurting and joyful hearts. It will last in our times and long, long into the future. I stand in solidarity with Ms. Kuriloff, her family and for everyone she touches with her wise and magnificent soul.

Moving Forward
I am like an elderly tree stretched in all directions, changing by the seasons, empty of leaves in the winter, huddling into myself, and blossoming in the spring. I plan but don’t always know where I’m going, especially as my body ages. Yet I keep extending deep into...
I Rang the Bell
With my vibrant blue headscarf covering my bald head, I joined a small group of nurses and assistants as we walked out of the Mary Dow Center of the Ellsworth Hospital. These dedicated hard-working women surrounded me in a circle as I rung a loud, joyful bell,...
My New Spiritual Challenge
Do you try to live your life in the present? Or do you worry about the future and let the past take over the present? I wrote in my first book, Everything Special, Living Joy, about how we choose to look at life: the glass “half-empty” or “half-full.” As I sit in a...
