Hobbies

It is my opinion that  Hobbies are important to sustaining a passionate life.  Sometimes I have no hobbies.  Othertimes I enjoy outdoor adventure, tennis, swimming and non-violent Alfred Hitchcock movies.  My husband of over 27 years and I enjoy classic black and white movies with Hollywood stars like; Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn(who we named our only daughter after), Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, Clark Gabel. We have a large backyard and go for daily walks with our guard dog.  Our children fuel our life with joy and purpose. 

In addition to active hobbies- I am a technologist by nature.  As a trained software engineer, and artist I paint in the digital space advancing Simple Living concepts that are good for the planet and families alike.   Really- Life offers more to do than time in a day.   An effective life needs to set priorities.   I have to pick and choose how to spend my time.
