What would you like other members of this community to know? About yourself, about the world...anything (try not to be profane, though)!: PLAY: I believe strongly in the importance of play and the power it has to transform our lives.
* Play connects us to the spark of life and feeds our deepest spirit.
* Play is essential to joyful productivity and work.
* Play can lead us to our life purpose and a sense of fulfillment.
* Play opens us up to more love, sex, money, health, career success, learning, growth… and, of course, fun!!

More about this on my website, http://playFULLsoul.com.

WRITING: I'm a writer with a strong interest in all the social, historical and political currents that connect us--often in ways we can't fully apprehend.

I'm working on a collection of stories about people whose lives are connected by tea--the mistress of an Indian tea plantation under British colonial rule and her maidservant, a governor whose career is destroyed by the Boston Tea Party, the owners of a glbt teahouse in Taiwan, and more.

What was your "women really matter and I'm going to do something about it" moment?: Being scared to walk across campus at night during college--and realizing that men didn't face the same fears and restrictions that women often do
