- What is your ideal life in 5 years?
Making a comfortable living as a teacher and artist/craftsperson. Having a sustainable art/craft business that can support self and possibly a family.

Abundant availability of fresh, organic foods (either via local farms or self). Opportunities for travel to enrich life and art.

Anywhere in the northwest or somewhere close to ocean and forest.
