    My former lives--wow that was a long time ago. I have a Ph.D in
    English lit, with Philosophy as my related field. Taught college
    level lit, then my career took an abrupt turn, and I worked in
    Hospital Administration, providing the liaison between the hospital
    Researchers and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in Bethesda,
    Washington. Long story about the switch in careers. 

    It was one of those marvelously unexpected turns of events. I knew
    my way around funding agencies in Washington DC, and the hospital
    which is a teaching hospital affiliated with Univ. of Southern Cal.
    needed an academic person with my background to jockey back and forth
    between the hospital and Washington. 

    For relief from all the high pressure of the job, I made jewelry,
    and did enameling. This was my quiet time. I would enter a deep
    meditative state when creating, and would find a center of peace.. 

    When I retired, I took every class and workshop that I could find,
    (still do) and am now making jewelry and enamels, and love every
    minute of it.
