About the author

I began my professional life as a first-grade teacher, and quickly fell in love with the whole wide world of learning -- particularly learning how to learn, and how to love learning. Our favorite authors must share that love. My published biographical notes show that I moved through the ranks of public instruction- including administration, curriculum design, and more--, then followed the Divine prompt to start my own leadership firm -- mostly for the private sector, Fortune 500 types. I still serve in an advisory, ombudsman-"sounding board" fashion, still love that work, sensing that, in a way, we're somehow all just kids at heart, living in a lesson world, and learning our greater strengths, capacities, wisdom every day.

Writing developed as I matured. As did my pen-and-ink art, etchings, graphics and such. Although I have a good formal education, it's clear that when we love what we do -- be it parenting, truck driving, technology, theology, crafts, or cooking -- we'll learn what we need in surprising, often self-governing, intuitive ways. The older I get, the more I trust that "small, still voice" within to guide my own learning-- academic or otherwise.
