I write.

Seven days a week. Usually in a café. I like the anonymous chaos; the white noise of music, voices and cappuccino frothing. I like the people. I like the free WiFi.


I’ve been teaching for 25 years. . .

. . . even longer if you count 'Mother's Helper', my first entrepreneurial venture, established when, at 12, I coerced a group of neighborhood kids - with a combination of fear and candy - into sitting in rows in the garage one summer.

Right now, I'm teaching on the radio, at the Angel Salon - without coercion. These days, I'm more about gently coaxing you to open to Spirit and the beauty of your own shining self!

I work with clients.

I'd love to talk with you about your life; to help you find the hidden meaning in your own story. (That's what Story Alchemy is all about.)

I start things.

The Children’s Arts Project, the first PTO at my kids school; The Spirited Writer’s Collective and a magazine called As if..


Publishing As If… taught me just how expensive print media is - and how all-consuming it can be to try to write, edit, publish a magazine while also responding to the volumes of mail that it generates.

Still, lately I'm thinking that an E-zine could work. Stay tuned.

I'd love to hear your story...

    I reinvent stuff.

    Jobs, relationships, communities, furniture, thrift store clothing. I am always pressing up against the edges of things, asking: What else can be done with this? I love repurposing things and inventing new forms.

    That's why I finally gave up trying to finish college.

    Instead, I reinvented education. After taking enough college credits to be handed two Bachelor’s degrees (and 2/3 of a Masters), I'm done. Oh, I'll never stop learning. But from now on, I take classes that speak to my soul. From now on, I'm enrolled in the university of life.
