About Me

My sister always says one thing about me: “If I train a camera on you for 5 minutes, every second will be a different expression.” It’s the speed of my thoughts, the train that goes from humorous to serious, from appreciation and gratitude to concern about where we are headed as a species and back to the bubbles my baby nephew is blowing in my face…in a nanosecond.

My world is ever evolving and with it, so am I. An army brat whose body may have stopped wandering the country with her father’s retirement but whose soul remains unfettered. In my mind, I’ve travelled the globe several times over and while I’ve managed to hit a few of those spots in human form, my scratch-able map remains for the most part unscratched.

In school, I studied everything from photojournalism to business law, ultimately getting a degree in business, while my work ranged from media law to radio documentaries, training and development to operational oversight, from research to financial reporting and from working with public and development agencies against serious crime to counselling teens on how best to shape their future. In between I’ve become a Reiki practitioner, a life coach and I’m still in process of creating my multi-faceted niche.

While I keep evolving, I’m hoping to hold on to the bits of myself that I enjoy. Finding the fun in funerals (not literally, but you know what I mean), the softness that makes me weep or laugh at appropriate times in books just as much as movies. The little girl inside that talks to plants and pets like people and holds on to the positives that life has to offer despite all its lows.

I go through transitions, a hundred times a day, but I maintain within them a thread of ‘self’ that is immovable, a core that I can celebrate as my own reality, my sanity, my continuity.

So who am I? A woman that refuses to let go of hope in an increasingly ‘hopeless’ world.
