I am just one woman, but I can change the world a little at a time. I have heard tell that I say it like it is, but have much compassion and the ability to empathize. I have experienced a lot of heartache, some joy, and have learned the most from my two disabled brothers as well as the children with whom I work. Each day I make it a priority to be grateful for at least one thing, look for ways to be there for someone else, and try to not drink too much coffee.

World Pulse has drawn me in like no other organization has done. I am grateful to be a part of this thriving community, and excitement fills me when I look to the future. I am not only willing, but deeply desire to be an intregal part of what is happening here.

I love making connections and really getting to know a person. I can find as much joy in laying on the beach as I can in gardening in the dirt. Even though I fall short in many ways, I know I can do anything because I've stared a solid granite peak in the face and climbed to the top. I have many scars and bruises from the climb, but the view is worth all the effort.

Learn from the past, be aware of the future, yet fully present in this moment.

Peace and Hope!
