Creator and Circle Keeper of the “Seasons and Moods Healing Circles for Justice-Impacted Individuals and Communities”…

Passionate advocate of and volunteer for Social and Restorative Justice Programs… Prison Reform… Reentry and Anti-recidivism support programs…

I am also honored to be a faithful daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister, aunt, friend, and colleague…

An aficionado of good coffee… artisan chocolate… sourdough bread… enlightening podcasts… new and used bookstores… and always ready to host a gathering with friends over a good meal and lively conversation…

I thrive on:

Being outdoors, exploring and appreciating local trails and pathways – especially near water and among trees…

Being in community with other precious humans…

And learning about this crazy beautiful world around me, especially through the eyes, hearts, minds and stories of the beautiful & truly unique individuals who inhabit her…

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site! I welcome all constructive and respectful feedback.
