Hi. I’m Carol.

I’m a writer, a retired psychotherapist and teacher, and a second wind social activist. I embody the time worn boomer lament, “How did I ever have time for a job??” I believe in art and how it brings people together and empowers change. I believe in dancing like nobody’s watching, though I do most of my dancing in my kitchen and on my back deck looking out at the Snoqualmie River. I believe that food is a great social binder and that it’s hard to feel bad when your mouth is happy. I believe that, as Jesus taught us, love is stronger than hate and will win out in the end. I believe in hope, and that, as Brian McClaren says, “Hope doesn’t have feathers. Hope has feet.”
