I am an environmentalist with a lower-case 'e'.  I spend my days trying to help my community keep our Gulf Coast paradise clean.  I wouldn't live anywhere else, but my world and yours will change drastically from the BP oil gusher. 


My prayers encompass all of the beauty and life, in and around the northern Gulf of Mexico.

I am not a flower type of girl.  I much prefer foliage of different shades to colorful flowers in mixed array.  I once wanted an orchid but didn't want to kill something so beautiful.  That and perennials that bloom are my only exceptions. Imagine wide swathes of same-colored tulips or fences covered in Confederate Star Jasmine, those I can live with.


The smell of jasmine in the late spring is so promising.
