About Me
CURRENT MISSION
be open to flow with the mysteries of life
ABOUT ME
I guess I'll start with I LOVE to dance... particularly partner dancing. Salsa is my favorite, and I also love Zydeco, Swing, and pretty much anything else. I am blessed with amazing friendships in all areas of my life - including with my family members. I love having adventures and stretching my frame of reference. Lately I've been really working to understand the worldview for those who come from a "collectively" oriented culture, as opposed to the "individually" oriented western culture i'm from and most familiar with.
I miss traveling and connecting with new people and feel like my current phase of life (not to mention the state of the world!) is much smaller than it used to feel. In addition to running my own organizational development consulting practice, I also spend a lot of time mom-ing my now 12 year old daughter and care-taking for my own mom who has recently been diagnosed with dementia. I'm really excited to connect with new folks and have new adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
