Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, more years ago than I can count using all my fingers and toes, and yours also, I am glad to say that I am still alive and well living enthusiastically in Boston. An empty-nester, still living with the father of my two children (a feat in and of itself), I am finding that life keeps providing me with opportunities to grow and glow. Of course I search out these opportunities - there are no accidents here. My greatest fear is that I become stagnant - that I wither and die on the vine, so to speak. I look for the delight and energy in all that I encounter and I see life as an adventure in which I continue to discover and uncover new parts of me and how I am in relationship to the world around me.

I worry about the welfare of my children and husband. I want them to be happy and at ease. And yet I know that each of them has to traverse his/her own paths that may lead them into sadness, despair and loneliness. Since I too have traversed these territories, I know that they will be okay when I remember that they, like me, can bear the full gamut of what it means to be fully human. I try to stay out of their way and support them as best I can. However, sometimes I flunk and give them more direction and advice than they can handle or take in. Then I know by their reaction that I had better back off. This is when I pray, or sometimes sulk.

I love to laugh and play and dance. I believe that all we do on this planet is learn about who and how we are. I try to be honest and impeccable with myself and value the feedback I obtain from others about how I am. I generally feel that people are my allies. I am working on fully taking in others and being connected with others.

I have a spiritual practice that enlivens and ignites my existence. I have a personal relationship with the divine that I cherish - it was long in coming in my life and I feel blessed to have this experience. I am a healer with a healing practice in Integrated Kabbalistic Healing that holds, the presence of the divine/spirit/oneness/love or however you chose to define or call it, at its core.

I learn when I teach and I cherish my relationship with others, no matter how young or old they are. Content, although valuable, is not what sustains us in life. It is the acceptance of the self and willingness to explore and savor all of who we are. This is what is paramount in me in my role as professor, wife, friend, sister, relative, mother, lover, healer and human. I invite you to join with me on the adventure of being fully human - glories, warts and all.
