I'm a librarian of the internet - I run feeds of info on FB and Twitter. Interested in everything under sun and moon.
Human rights activist since 1985. Live in Johannesburg, South Africa. My blog name is based on my first two names. Love and kindness are the most important things. Activist, producer, humanist, mom, Africa-lover, Quaker-Buddhist, knitter, global villager, optimist, obsessive reader, Facebook addict (and not necessarily in that order...)
Live above the Bioscope in downtown Joburg.
Spread kindness. Choose life. Live adventurously. Listen, watch and read. Choose good energy movies, books, and music. Drink a beer/Savanna after a hard day's work. Meditate and pray.
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
