About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, love, laugh, learn - and pass it on!

ABOUT ME

Half a bubble off center but never crooked ;) Perfectly imperfect and totally unique. Co-creating with God/dess *the Divine*. Co-creating with you. Doing more. Doing less. Being more. Being less. Unfolding. Exploring, Unlearning. Beginning. Showing up today and the next and the next - to be the change I want to see in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"Love one another as I have loved you" ~ Jesus
"Be the change you want to see in the world" ~ Gandhi
"... When we perceive that the only difference between any of us is beliefs, and that beliefs can be created or discreated with ease, the right and wrong game will wind down, and world peace will ensue." ~ the Mission of Avatar (r) in the world

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise swim in spring in the Boundary Waters - not sure if it was the majestic view of the pristine lakes and trees, the moose getting a drink by the waters edge, the eagles taking flight overhead- or just the water temperature ;)

Body surfing in the Bahamas with dolphins playing in the waves nearby - no words... pure joy!

Being a part of the international Avatar Master team with thousands of people from around the world who are working individually and together to increase personal responsibility, compassion, and service to others - knowing this is the world we can co-create together.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always up for practical/scientific/ spiritual/ metaphysical discussions on just about any topic :)

My background is in Human Resources and I'm studying for my MBA in Sustainable Business - I would really love to be a part of the solution in helping our world change for the better by implementing truly sustainable communities and business practices... do you know about this? Are you excited about it? I'd love to explore and share more - let's chat!!

I grew up deeply rooted in the spiritual traditions of Christianity, discarded it in my early 20's... tried Atheism on for fit but couldn't shake my faith in "something more intelligent than random happenstance) and delved into studies in world religions. I've returned to Christianity as a deliberate choice to "be the change" I want to see in the world but my personal belief about religions and spirituality is simple - I don't know much, but I choose to believe if you study creation you begin to see the Creator... and marvel at the wonder of its design.
