Through my journey as an unexpected entrepreneur and an untaught teacher for the past thirty years, I learned that although I never had a Plan B, the universe had one for me. The unforeseen turned out to be far more satisfying than I could’ve dreamed of... Read more of this blog post »

I remember after the long-awaited birthday celebrations finally arrived. It was 18th April 1966, I was wearing

We live in a world that has devalued the soul, and only values those who produce or consume.

The world values the generation of wealth, power and control, and we have fallen into the trap of believing our value is entwined with being part of the production line of wealth.

begin an ocean race.
