I started in Chat over 2 years ago when I was attending a couple of support groups... a 12 step meeting and a Crohn's disease support group. From there my interest has grown to where I host a few conferences and help out in others. I have 4 adult children, spread all over the world at the moment, and 2 granddaughters living in Seattle. My partner and I live in Northern New South Wales Australia on 5 acres of land in the mountains which we are putting under cultivation for Australian native flowers. At the moment I don't have a house on the property and work from a shack and sleep in a caravan. It is not unusual to have to lift my feet for a passing python while I am working at the computer. :) I am also a licensed wildlife carer and trained in the care of orphaned and injured wallabies and possums and host a 'Focus on Wildlife' conference in TheInSite. During my city life I was coordinator of a Women's Refuge and trained in Family Welfare specializing in Domestic Violence. Must admit, country life suits me much better these days...it was a pretty stressful life-style back then. I have, however, always found relaxation in gardening and craft work. ************************************************************************* Bits And Pieces ************************************************************************* I saw this wonderful quote the other day. It is well worth sharing:

"The highest result of education is tolerance."

- Helen Keller (1880-1968)
