Growing up, I decided, a long time ago, I wouldn't accept any manmade differences between human beings, differences made at somebody else's insistence or someone else's whim or convenience.
As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.
I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
I've lived many places on the planet, and I still have friends in many places.
The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.
I believe in living a poetic life, an art full life. Everything we do from the way we raise our children to the way we welcome our friends is part of a large canvas we are creating.
