Hobbies

It is my opinion that  Hobbies are important to sustaining a passionate life.  I enjoy outdoor adventure, tennis, swimming and Alfred Hitchcock movies.  My husband of 24 years and I enjoy classic black and white movies with Hollywood stars like; Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn(who we named our daughter after), Jimmy Stewart and Gregory Peck.  In addition to active hobbies- I am a technology hobbyist for fun.  As an artist I paint in the digital space advancing Simple Living concepts that are good for the planet and families alike.   Really- I do not have time for all this at once- I have to pick and choose how to spend my time.  It is all great stuff.
