I am a strong believer in the "Life and Teachings of Jesus" and in the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man. And of course, I mean mother/sisterhood and women too - just don't want to argue about the gender semantics. I believe that Jesus meant faith in God or the Creator, not in himself as "the messiah", for his definition. 

I am a preacher, speaker, and writer and I love to network with people and bring them together for socializing and productivity and I LOVE TO FEED PEOPLE as a chef and a party hostess and a travel planner. I want to see as much of the world as possible...and to expose others to as much diversity and fulfillment as possible, and to meet and get to know as many of my fellow travelers as I can before I leave this world. I believe in an eternal life adventure, and a multidimensional universe inhabited with a myriad of intelligent creatures...some like us...some quite different (I assume). I am an interfaither. I don't believe any of us has the corner on "Truth" and I believe in the divinity of "Truth", "Beauty" and "Goodness".  These are the realities which provide proof to me of the Creator of the Universe.

I believe we are seeing blotches of darkness (of evil) against a backdrop of Light (truth) and that is why they appear so stark - rather than the other way around.

So, I am an optimist.
