My proudest achievement is as a kidney donor, which I did in 2008 for a young man who was given a new lease on life.  Me too, for that matter.

I’m happy to be a member of the blogosphere, and am excited to share my own personal glimpses, observations, and musings on art, creativity, wellness, conscious living, and the always irascible and utterly compelling human condition, through essays, poetry, and prose.

The reason I call this blog Bindi Girl Chronicles is explained in my very first post, So, This Bindi Thing . . .
