Listening

We just finished a wonderful dinner of New Mexican red chile roasted veggie enchiladas. We were joined by some dear neighbors and before everyone headed home we gathered our four sweet children ages five to nine for a school year blessing (they…

Waiting

In 1999 I was so ready for a career change I thought I would implode if my new path didn’t reveal itself soon! I was taking many steps to support the career exploration process--doing informational interviews, journaling and asking the hard…

Unplugged

Ripe

I just returned from Big Bend National Park Sunday night with my husband and son. I sat out under a million stars, galaxies and a moon so bright it hurt my eyes. I experienced deafening quiet. I walked across deserts and over boulders until…

Stardust

Imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.--Albert Einstein I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of creating something out of nothing. I just spoke at and participated in RISE global week (grassroots, city-wide, peer-led…
