Daughter of an American solder (who was born in Belize) and an amazing Japanese mother. Ex-wife of a Minnesotan farmer, with whom I raised 4 extraordinary children. Loving and living in Saint Paul since 2003, raising a granddaughter who already towers over me.
I try to live intentionally with grace and gratitude and have a penchant for sharing humor, joy and compassion each and every day - some days are more challenging but living with hope and purpose makes it all come together in a most satisfying way.
