I've been a doer all my life. But instead of a straight-line career path, my wide-ranging life resume covers a lot of terrain - and now that means more possibilities for you:

Writing / Editing / Books

• Award-winning writer and New York Times best-selling author
• Wrote, edited, collaborate on 20+ books, including Chicken Soup for the Soul

• Provided individual consulting for more than 700 people in 9 countries
• Helped grow and manage RIAs, hedge funds, and other businesses
• Raised $70+ million in investment assets in 18 months

Life Re-design Coaching / Intention Management

• Assisted empty nesters, career changers, and others with life re-design
• Developed an approach to interior home re-design without additional purchases
• Helped develop Zen Do-ism, an intention management practice for living one's values, not just to-do lists

And if you’re wondering, here are some of my personal adventures

• Hitch-hiked to Woodstock at age 15 with my future husband (we reconnected after 3 decades)
• Sold and delivered Rhodes 22 sailboats all over the US
• Operated a 2-story electron microscope for published molecular biology research
• Mentored under two-time-Pulitzer-Prize-winning writer Jon Franklin
• Raised three spectacular humans
• Dodged tear gas at Viet Nam war protests in Washington DC as a teenager

• Rescued and rehomed dozens of stray dogs and cats
• Redesigned various interior home spaces without costs
• Moved 2 tons of donated fresh produce per week for Food Rescue Baltimore, delivering to various free food giveaways during Covid
• And created this website to see how I may be of service to you.
