What a life I am living! What incredible friendships and experiences I am enjoying!
I called Alaska home for most of the last 40 years, and worked for the same credit union for almost 27 years, but all that changed in 2022.
In 2022, I:
- left a 27-year career in financial services (26 years with the same credit union),
- closed my bed & Breakfast (Desiderata Bed & Breakfast, which I had opened in 2011), and
- sold my home in Anchorage, Alaska and left the state.
Since that time, I have been traveling and spending time with friends in various cities, states and countries. Between September 2022 and now (April 2023), I have been traveling in Oregon, Washington, Florida and the Bahamas, helping friends with their home and business projects, and exploring different parts of the country as I try to determine where I might want to settle next.
I am a huge fan of walking/meditation/prayer labyrinths, and seek them out all over the country (and world).
I enjoy the chance to help others care for their homes, families, businesses and mindsets. I hope to be able to enrich the lives, homes, and people that I encounter in my travels.
While I am new to house-sitting, I was a homeowner for over 20 years, maintaining a 1,900 sq foot home on a 13,000 sq ft lot with landscaped property- including grass, flowers, bushes, a large water feature (double fountain with with three pumps). I love animals - especially dogs and cats. Our beloved Riley (a chocolate lab) crossed the rainbow bridge several years ago, and I still miss him. I look forward to sharing my gifts, care and heart with you and your family.
