Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m a naturalist and professional do-gooder, committed to making the world a better place and savoring the joy along the way. My blog is my place to share stories and photos of my travels, indulge in creative expression and musings, and ponder how I can help create a just world for others. I welcome your feedback.
