My name is Jessi. I live with my partner Robin, two cats and a rat terrier in Minneapolis, recent transplants from Houston, Texas. I am retired from the State of Texas, and presently work as writer and author, as well as in my garden. I enjoy long walks, communing with nature, politics (liberal), religion (non dogmatic, Unitarian Universalism), and spending time with friends, both on and off line.

Having no family, my friends are especially important, and some are my family. I believe that friendships are our treasure, and I plan to die wealthy indeed.

My life today is rather simple then. Me and my partner/wife, our animals and garden, and a small circle of friends. Nothing complicated at all, and we like it that way. From time to time I involve myself in various volunteer activities, such as glbt activism or political campaigns or something at the church. And nothing I enjoy more than sharing stories, and life stories with others. It is because of the love of community that I am here on EONS now. Blessings Be.

Who are your heroes?

Martin Luther King, Eleanor Roosevelt, Secy of Agriculture Henry Wallace, Margarethe Cammemeyer, Frida Kahlo - Of these I have only met Col. Cammemeyer when she interviewed me for a radio program, but I was so impressed with her courageous stand against the military. My knowledge of Frida Kahlo is indirect. Friends at church had visited and stayed with her and Rivera during the time Trotsky was living there. Her vivacious personality in spite of her intense pain was inspiring.
