My life is full of blessings and magic. There have been dark days and glorious on-top-of-the world days. Among my greatest blessings was being invited because of political and communications expertise to join World Pulse's Founding Board in 2002. Though no longer on the board, I had a life-changing experience of having dinner with the three Correspondents when they were in Portland last fall. Within minutes of our meeting, Neema adopted me as her grandma!

At 80 years old, I think of Jensine as one of my beloved angels -- it's thrilling to see her soar as she leads this movement of liberating women around the world.
