Namaste.

"I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place in you, which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One."

I am a seasoned psychoanalyst, but would rather practice yoga. I appreciate conceptually complex ideas, yet prefer simple talk. First and foremost I am Mom to two grown boys (ages 22 and 25). The older son is on the edge of the nest, wings flapping, preparing to launch. While still very much invested in being a Mom I am in the process of giving birth to a new version of my self. Having accompanied both parents to a dignified death in their late 80's, I feel that I am carrying their strength, integrity and goodness inside.

I love to walk, wander, explore and travel. My favorite spot is a beach on the Mexican Caribbean or National Seashore on Cape Cod. My favorite evening is a quiet dinner in the North End followed by a stop at Wally's Jazz Club. A lover of fresh herbs from the garden, heirloom tomatoes and all foods fresh and Italian. It is my dream to buy a colonial home and retire in Merida, Mexico.

To quote Leonard Cohen:

"There is a crack...
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."
