Carolee Heynen’s Summary

Dance like nobody's watching! And love like you've never been hurt. I like those thoughts.

I have been told I do too many things for free, but then, there are worse vices one could have.... I feel for small animals and often give my love and my work without strings.

Here's one I cannot really explain: I have an abiding sense that "Everything works the same" which enhances my ability to understand systems and people....I love putting pieces together, and I love taking complicated mechanisms apart...This goes for devices, designs, groups, and individuals. So fair warning: Somewhere along the line I will try to disect you. I do it to everyone, to see what makes them tick - even though I have been cursed with empathy which already gives me the ability to understand the "why" in most situations.

I have been lots of things in my life. And every incarnation has been fascinating.
