About

At my best, I find blessings in every day life:  a rare bird sighting, a chance to speak a foreign language, a smile from a stranger.  A regular gratitude practice helps me to notice these small things, especially on the days when the noise of everything else rattles so loudly.

I write: articles, stories, and books.

I teach: grant writing,  marketing communications, and how to make money for travel.

I love languages and have studied: French, Wolof, Serer, Portuguese, Hindi and MBA-speak.  Sometimes I speak in front of groups with the goal of inspiring.

I eat: a vegetarian diet.
