When writing a bio, how does one truly answer the question: Who am I? I could say I write books and poetry, teach literature and writing courses part-time at a university and conduct writing and meditation workshops. I could add that I speak at conferences about my book, myself and other things. I travel on business and for fun, with my most recent \u2018fun\u2019 trips including a trek, river rafting adventure and jungle safari in Nepal, a vacation to Hawaii, a visit with my son and his wife in Canada, a whirlwind tour of New York City, a hike into the depths of the Grand Canyon; two 10-day silent meditation retreats just outside of Yosemite and Sun Valley, respectively; a 600-mile walk along the Camino through Spain; a romantic interlude in Costa Rica; and a bike tour of Croatia. I run, hike, bike, ski, garden and dance. I love life.<\/p>\n

Or I could speak about how I feel\u2014I\u2019m happy, happier, I think, than I\u2019ve ever been. I\u2019m leading the life I\u2019ve chosen, doing the things I love and being, for the most part, the person I want to be. I still, of course, have much to learn, do and become, but I\u2019m excited about that, all of it.<\/p>\n

And I could write about who I\u2019ve been\u2014the mother of two incredible human beings, the former wife of a dear friend, the partner or former partner of some wonderful men who have added\u2014and still add\u2014joy and blessings to my life; the author of one published book and the soon-to-be author of two others; an educator, presenter, life coach and motivational speaker.<\/p>\n

But no matter what I say, most of who I am still remains a mystery even to me, for it resides in the secret chambers of my heart; and even I have only occasional glimpses of it now and then\u2014when I look into the eyes of my sons and see their goodness, for example, or when I dance or ski or laugh with the people\u2014or pups\u2014that I love; or when out in nature I feel the power and pulse of every living being within my soul. My greatest achievements are not my books or classes or titles or trips but the love I share with others and the desire I have to make a little bit of difference somehow in this whole, huge, turbulent, beautiful world.<\/p>\n
