Hi there,

I thought I'd write a few notes, if anyone's interested in discussing changes I've made on Wikipedia, or if they want to know a little 'bout who I am.

I'm female, mid-thirties, born and raised in Nebraska, USA. I received my Bachelor's in Fine Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My husband recently got his Masters in Fine Art (at UNL as well). For some reason I took NU football more seriously than expected this season--go Coach Callahan!

I make jewelry (my bread and butter), sculpt in clay, draw and paint. I like animals, reading history books--especially one's that represent the subordinate view--and philosophy books. I am curious about the world and what goes on in its different nooks and crannies. What I enjoy most is my Nichiren Buddhist practice with the Soka Gakkai International-USA. I enjoy discovering that I can enjoy happiness despite my difficult circumstances. I enjoy reinforcing this ability, whether it be with Buddhism or not, in those that I encounter. Every day I try to shrug off the mental shackles of selfishness, arrogance and ignorance that keep me sedate towards or removed from the sufferings of the world.
