I created this blog to begin speaking out loud as a writer about my most consistent interest, exploring connections across ideas. I am voraciously curious about a variety of topics and circle back often to touchstones of intention and mindfulness, interconnectivity, ecology, and seeking deeper meaning in lived experience.
I’ve attempted to learn about the world through diving into lots of things especially reading and travel, once visiting 20 countries in one trip around the globe. I’m Co-Founder of Global Urban Village: an impact investing consulting company, a memoirist and writer, formerly a marketing leader at a Fortune 500 company, and in every regard an enthusiast for catching glimpses of the threads that connect all life.
These connections are my moments of delight and I plan to share them here to spread small joys and new ideas.
