10 Things You May Not Know About Me
When it comes to building community, I think a fun way to get to know each other is to share some random facts. In that spirit I’m sharing with you 10 random things about myself so you can get to know who I am and what makes me tick.
- I’m an extrovert, an ENFP on the Myers-Briggs, a 7 on the Enneagram and I’m in the Hufflepuff house
- In astrology, I’m an Aquarius, smack dab on the cusp of Aquarius and Capricorn with Aries Moon and Cancer Rising
- I lived and taught music in the public schools in Cut Off, Louisiana (south of New Orleans) for 3 years
- I am at 1112 straight days of studying/practicing Spanish. A walk with my dog Max, a nice cuppa tea and a lesson in Spanish is how I start my days
- I’ve discovered the joys of audiobooks. Currently I’m listening to Insurgent by Veronica Roth and The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee
- I played viola professionally in orchestras when I lived in the Midwest, and have done gigs with Mel Torme, Sherri Lewis & Lambchop, Joshua Bell and Pinchas Zuckerman
- I ended up in Montana because I drew a latitude line across the US bisecting Mpls/St Paul and knew I wanted to be on that line or north of it
- I have 20 houseplants in my small apartment, most of them very large and named ;-)
- Since Covid my hair is longer than it’s been since high school!
- I have been experimenting with pickling, drying and storing food and I’ve become quite proficient at baking bread
I got the idea for this post from my friend Jen Pavich, who got the idea from Alexandra Franzen It’s important to credit women for their work and I love doing it!
As I publish more here you’ll get to better know me, the work I do and why I’m so passionate about that work. Meanwhile, check out my blog and Instagram posts.
