Being Who YOU Are
Current news is full of stark reminders of the temporary and fragile state of everything around us; including us. First responders killed in the line of duty, a tornado that decimated homes and took innocent lives with little warning. It takes very little paying attention to have the realization of loss and unfairness of tragedies like these to be known. We see people hurting and we want to help. Especially people right here in our community, our own country. They are like us. We relate. We feel a sameness that spurs us into seeing them as real and the connection made through that...
Read MoreYour EXPANSION Awaits You
What do you think stops you first and most when you contemplate the possibility of being bigger and doing something to actually make a difference in the world? I was asked this question a few years ago as I sat in San Juan Capistrano at a facilitator training for the World Academy For the Future of Women. I went there out of curiosity; and quite simply because I had been invited to go. Someone had told me that they saw great potential in me and what I could do in the world and I was curious about what they saw.

Read MoreBursting with Change!
It has been far too long since my last post. Life has been so full and so much is happening that once I got behind, it was a challenge just to decide what to talk about. Regardless of my excuse (because it really isn’t relevant now), I apologize for the delay. I have thought of sharing with you each day, even if my fingers didn’t make it to the keyboard.

Truth be told, it has been changing all along and well before...

By now you must know that what I am most passionate about is Women Changing the World, right? You can’t be on this site very long and not get that clue. I am priviledged to know many amazing, incredibly intelligent, and personally powerful women through the many networks, organizations and friendships that I hold dear. There is a profound beauty and limitlessness in the women I know – the amazing women who are changing the world. Here is the story of one that I have not (yet) had the pleasure of meeting, but who has inspired me to reach further and expand again into greater...
Read MoreWant World Peace? Educate Our Girls.
There are children starving all over the world. The largest and hungriest group starving are girls. Many of them are not starving because their families can’t feed them, or because of lack of food. Many will spend their whole lives in this weak and hopeless condition of constant hunger; making them dependent on others for their very survival. They are starving, even when they are eating. What they are hungry for is knowledge. Education. A chance to learn. To read, to write, to think beyond the walls of the barriers others have placed before them. There is freedom in education....
