Journalism is an admirable profession when undertaken to seek and share facts and information people need, not to echo corporate or governmental spin. It's fundamental for an equitable society.
Teaching is honorable when undertaken to nurture ethical, ecologically aware, open-minded critical thinkers. It's essential for a viable society.
Farming organic food is a worthy vocation, vital to a healthy society.
Healing is a noble calling, crucial for a caring society.
Artistry sweetens our lives, indispensable for a happy society.
Activism is an empowering enterprise, imperative if -- in our time of surging avarice and plutocracy -- we are to achieve a sustainable future.
Hosting offers TLC & tranquility to people in respite or recovery from caregiving, illness, grief, stress, exhaustion, or trauma.
Loving brings complexity, grief, adventure, thrills, comfort, and a million levels of joy to life.
I am very fortunate to be able to engage in all these activities,
professionally or avocationally, and to share some of them with
the best people on Earth.
