CURRENT MISSION

To live fully and enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

Born to travel. I like to help others and some time ago lived in Nicaragua for three years, building houses. After 23 years in Dallas, Texas, I spent some time in Buenos Aires, Burlington, Vermont, upstate New York and now live in Grand Junction, Colorado. I am transitioning from earning a living as a consultant to nonprofit organizations to providing Spirit and Nature Retreats, where I connect people to Spirit in the midst of natural beauty. I am very laid back and love to poke fun at the craziness of life. People from other cultures and countries have taught me a lot but there's lots more to learn.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't swim with the current.
