This is a first post, so it's an introduction as well.

I'm a South Philly gal, born & raised...spent as much time in Santa Cruz, and several years in Ballina, Curracloe, County Wexford (across the water, the local newspaper calls it.) Dublin is one of my favourite places.

Currently - until we return to Europe - I reside outside a small Georgia town called Luthersville - where the flag (both) and the ten commandments stand proudly on lawns and in front of buildings (no disrespect intended whatsoever).

Also, I travel around the planet as a Coordinator for the World's Regions as a volunteer for a spiritual (not religious) non-profit called Humanity's Team - basically saying, 'We are all One - let's practice.' Practicing is often more difficult than one imagines. But so is relocalization.

Getting folks up from their couches after a day of working at least one job, some kids, caring for elders, in major commutes that don't move for hours, etc., etc., etc.

I teach Spanish, with tutoring available in Russian & Italian (I speak Madarin well enough now - after a while studying - to wow any teenager in a Chinese restaurant here!). My hubby and I also have a eBay used vinyl record store online, where we sell all manner of music (you like it, we either have it or can find it.) That keeps us in survival mode when teaching isn't happening.

And a Geek is what I am. If it's free, I just might be able to find it on the net. Love building amateur websites, have more than several Blogs, and am a Research Journalist out of Germany. One of the folks who researchs for fun....yep.

So, let me know how I can help. I noticed there are several members 25 miles or less away from me. Only problem is that none have their email listed...bummer.

May your day be chock-full of Blessings & Belly Laughs - and Opportunites in Abundance to pass them forward.

Namaste.
