Official synopsis Publisher
As a child in the 1960s, my biggest and happiest influences were:
• living in the mountains of Colorado
• experiencing Brownies and Girl Scouts
• Laura Ingalls Wilder’s ‘Little House’ books
• Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan
• observing myself and others
• caring for my baby sister
• creative expression in dance class
• going to Sunday School
In 1978, as newlyweds, my husband, Kevin, and I set out for the wilds of Canada intending to live the ‘Back-to-the- Land’ homesteading lifestyle in the tiny log cabin we built before winter set in.
The cold, darkness and silence were crushing. The isolation and poverty intensified Limitations.
Could I somehow overcome the Limitations and seek Possibilities?
Volunteering opened ever-expanding community, creativity, and Possibilities.
