Hometown: Chicago, Illinois

What led you to the Dharma: Initially, curiosity mostly, then interest, a connection and eventually a way of life.

Something most people don’t know about you: I have a keen interest and knowledge of the Chinese Horoscope and Palmistry…use to do readings.

Buddhist book you would recommend. “Dalai Lama, My Son: A Mother’s Autobiography”. Great read to see what life was like in Tibet before and after the birth of the Dalai Lama from the perspective of his mother.
