In my life, I've been a business woman, publisher, writer, video producer, educator, amateur musician and philanthropist. I know a great deal about sexuality and about cohousing.

Here are some particulars about me you might find interesting:

I am the founder of Good Vibrations, the first woman-centered sex toy shop in the country.

Since 1992, I've lived in two cohousing communities and have become very involved in the cohousing movement.

I am a Unitarian-Universalist and active in my local congregation.

I am the proud mom of one daughter and I'm Grandma Joani to three wonderful grandchildren and one great-grandchild (born Nov. 16 2011). I treasure memories of my travels ‘round the world.

For several years, I have donated close to 50% of my annual income to a small group of social change non-profits.
