About surfingon
I live in Hawaii. I surf in the winter and swim in the summer. I have been a hospice volunteer with a contemplative-care oriented hospice for 34 years have been part of their team that trains new volunteers for the last 18 years.

In Orlando, FL, we have the Modern Widows Club.com, we have had several ladies talk extensively about needing more information about the maze that overtook their life. So, thank you.
