Many consider me "everybody's Jewish mother".  On the other hand, many consider me everybody's Jewish "mutha".  Take your pick, as I'm both and then some. The truth is that I will not be defined.  I am a loving wife , mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother--all those potentially stereotypical things. Whether those catchwords define me would stifle my essence, however,. so let's just call me a free spirit who tries to live her life according to the concept of "tikkun olam"--that we are all obligated to try to heal the ills of the world. I am a poet, thinker, reader, musician, Yiddishist, active Democrat, animal lover (particularly parrots), feminist, and all-around opinionated big mouth.  Obviously, I'm a schmoozer and, like my parrots, I won't shut up.
