Who Am I?

I am just a woman on the internet trying to do her part in making the world a little better.

I started Chasing Day Zero as a lifelong project-first to inspire myself, and maybe others, to make the most of each day. A public countdown to my 80th birthday is a reminder that time is limited, but also that I still have it (hopefully).

My hope is that when I reach Day Zero, I can look back and see that I lived fully- that I built community, created art, and left the world at least a little better than I found it.

I am an artist. An author. And most importantly, I am a mother.

I never planned to care about politics- but it turns out everything is pretty damn political when you care about your neighbors, your voice, and basic human rights. I am loyal to no party or organization. I am loyal to humanity-both the best of it and the worst.

So yes, I suppose that makes me an activist, too.

I don’t know what cards I’ll be dealt-but I intend to play them well.

Here’s to Chasing Day Zero.
An honor it will be to make it there.
