There is not much I can add to my partner's statement....

Michael and I are of like mind, especially after being together for 44 years. We came from Southern California in the early 70s to build a family business in Southern Oregon. For the last 37 years I have worked to support the business, home and family. During that time I have enjoyed many friendships and good times.

Currently, my goal is to disconnect from all material things and live simply in peace and love. My mantra is and always has been-to just "have fun" in the doing and the sharing.

I choose to have a positive attitude and to find the 'good' in all situations. For me, love does not need power and glory.

I am proud to be a part of the goals and aspirations of my sons, Joshua and Matthew. They are an inspiration to my generation and generations to come. Josh with his abilities to forge a path and inspire others and Matthew with his incredible musical ability.

I don't have any of the special talents or abilities that my family exhibits. Mine is just to be a foundation for support and connection to Mother Earth.

The jungle, the farm and the local people provide a venue for all to come together to share the common goal of creation and spiritual growth while enjoying the "Simple Life".

One with music, flowers and fun,

Linda
