Marilyn "Spruce" Krause (Karatz)

Now Now
City: Minneapolis
State / Province: MN
Marital status: Single again
Children: 1
Occupation: Life Coach/Counselor & Healing Practioner
Comment: My life is great.  My passions are the healing work I do with individual clients, teaching happiness workshops, dancing and meditating at the Buddhist Center near my home.  

   I feel blessed to own a wonderful old duplex with a beautiful garden in South Minneapolis. Fortunate to have wonderful loving friends and a fabulous daughter.

   Growing older has mellowed me out a little bit (which is a good thing).  I believe, I have also grown out of the shyness I had back in High School, which I think some perceived as my being aloof -- actually I was too vain to wear my glasses and am very nearsighted.  So if I ever walked by you without saying hi --"Hi."

Occupation: Healing Practitioner & Life Coach
Comment: Looking forward to catching up after so many years.  My life has gone thorugh lots of change.  Still working and love the work I do with a variety of healing modalities

 - Reiki, Therpeutic Massage, Laughter Yoga and InterPlay, painting, moving, and going deeply & also exploring playfully, life's mysteries and questions with clients & groups.



Have a wonderful daughter and son-in-law and three grandcats, who live in Washington State.  My daughter is a scientist who does bio-medical research around hearing loss.  Wish she lived closer, but it's a beautiful place to visit.



Haven't been married to my highschool sweetheart Paul for many years, but we have a loving friendship, which works well for us. And his parnter is a fantastic woman who I always enjoy seeing when we get together.  Have been in a few relationships, since my marriage ended, and at this am dicovering the gifts and challenges of being single.  My last relationship was a decade of fun and time in rural WI.  We continue to be friends.  Lives go in different directions and mine was going more into meditation practice.



I own a wonderful old duplex in South Minneapolis and spend much of my time dancing, doing improv, creating artwork, gardening and practicing mindfulness meditation.  I go on silent retreats, have an 8 day one coming up the day after our reunion -- so I will probably cut out early.  



Life has had it's challenges, of course, but over all I am blessed with good health, good friendships, work and other activities that are meaningful to me.  Much to be grateful for.  I have another name I've been going by for the past 20 years..  Spruce.  So I might not respond at first to Marilyn, but that's ok.
