\"Lynn-Tova\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 About Lynn<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

I’ve always been interested in a million things – often many of them at the same time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d learned to live with this fact about myself although comments from others often made me stop and wonder if I was an alien or something was “wrong” with me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve collected degrees [BA, AM, PhD, and JD] and worked as an attorney, kindergarten teacher, 5 and 10 cent store clerk, college professor, therapist, evaluator, researcher, ski instructor, etc. and left them all behind to move onto other adventures. \u00a0I’ve moved around a lot too – coast to coast and found a religion that fit me better than the one I was raised in.<\/span><\/p>\n

[Then there are all the hobbies, sports and musical interests that I engage in.]<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t do well working for others for long periods of time so no “real” full time job lasted more than two years. \u00a0Self-employment seemed the only path and that’s what I have been doing most of my adult life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0A few years ago, a friend I met on Twitter,<\/a> came to Portland and in the course of our conversations she figured I was a scanner – a term I never heard before in the context of a type-of-person. It intrigued me and I started reading about scanners. The minute I read Refuse to Choose<\/em> by Barbara Sher –\u00a0I had one of those “oh my g-d; that’s me” moments!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The concept had a very profound effect on me as some internal thought mechanisms made a rapid shift. I’m now happy to know I am not an alien, nor is there anything “wrong” with me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And instead of bemoaning the fact that I had not known this for my 1st 60+ years, I am able to say “Hey – I know this now and let’s make the most of it!”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

After a move to Oregon, I finally found a way to combine most of my interests under one umbrella business. One where my many thoughts, ideas, and areas of expertise could find a home and find each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love to write, take pictures, make videos, talk, read, teach, offer advice and be a fun person. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gray Wolf Productions<\/a> allows me to do this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And now that I know it’s really ok to have all these interests – I feel and am so much more productive! \u00a0A major “something” has been lifted from my soul\/psyche\/brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gray Wolf<\/em><\/span> has meaning for me on many levels. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, my heritage contains Native American ancestry, \u00a0I have always loved wolves, Gray is a family name and gray is what happens when we age [except I color mine] and the company will produce informative materials. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the name includes so much of me, it seemed the perfect name for a company that includes so much of me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again – let me welcome you to Gray Wolf Productions<\/span><\/strong>, my “scanner umbrella website.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Look around the site and start scanning horizons with me…<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a part of all that I have met;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Gleams that untravell\u2019d world, whose margin fades <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
For ever and for ever when I move. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
How dull it is to pause, to make an end, <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
To rust unburnish\u2019d, not to shine in use!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Come, my friends. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Push off, and sitting well in order smite <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Of all the western stars, until I die.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
