Currently Creating

  • Expat Rebel: Insights and Adventures Abroad - I’m writing my Expat travel essay book
  • Wilderness Tales: A Childhood in Alaska - I’m currently going thru my photo slides collection and scanning in photos for a future book about my childhood in Alaska with float planes and wolf dogs. It’s a lot of fun seeing memories from the 70s. What an adventure I had living on a float plane lake and seeing parts of Alaska not seen by many.
  • Nan’s Love: Poems from the Heart - I recently started writing poems for my love, family and friends for fun. Some have encouraged me to put them together into a collection. So, I’m focusing on writing about the big moments in life and getting feedback from family and friends.
  • Oracle Cards - I’m working with an expert on creating an oracle card deck. I’m doing the art. Got the style of the cards figured out and working on completing all the cards.

Currently Reading

I’m reading You Can’t Screw This Up: Why Eating Takeout, Enjoying Dessert, and Taking the Stress out of Dieting Leads to Weight Loss That Lasts by Adam Bornstein. I don’t read diet books but this one is actually really practical. Enjoying it so far.

Last Read Books

My past books I’ve read listed on my GoodReads profile.

Weekly Shows/Podcasts

Watched Recently

  • I love watching foreign movies. A different perspective. Recently I enjoyed Restore Point a good sci-fi movie from the Czech Republic.
  • I enjoyed the show Echo and especially the ending. Being part Native American and from Oklahoma it was nice to see a tribe being represented in media. This and Reservation Dogs have made a big contribution in representation. I hope more will continue to come out.

My past movie ratings on IMDb.

Music

I’m a huge music fan. Love a lot of different styles of music. I have even created some music.

Musician

  • My last song I wrote is Drops.
  • I’ve been writing lyrics, which is new to me. It’s in a style that I don’t know how to compose music for and I don’t sing so not sure what I’ll do with the growing catalog of lyrics.

Music Fan

Enjoying My Cats

It’s been 10 months since three stray cats crawled over our wall into our compound. One was adopted out and the mother and daughter became part of the family. We were told they were unadopted because they were both a bit wild but now they are great at couch cuddling and playing. They are both welcomed members of the family.
