There is hard-won resilience in overcoming difficult experiences, strength in reflecting on personal growth, and immeasurable hope through sharing our stories.

I believe in the life-long pursuit of developing and evolving a

Healthy Self-Identity.

I believe life’s challenges are an opportunity to develop -for self & then others-

Radical Empathy.

I believe confronting injustice is an opportunity to raise consciousness and

Increase Healing and Peace.

I believe overcoming the restraints of organized religion can reshape our stories of faith and spirituality.

“None of us can ever know the value of our lives, or how our separate and silent scribbling may add to the amenity of the world, if only by how radically it changes us, one by one.”
